Location: chicago,IL, Member Since: Aug 06, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: Chicago Distance Classic Half Marathon 2008 - 2:02 Short-Term Running Goals: I am training for the NYC Marathon. I would like to finish in under 3:50. I am using the Hal Higdon Intermediate II training schedule. Long-Term Running Goals: Qualify for Boston 2010 Personal: I am 38 y/o andjust finishing up medical school. It is difficult to keep up with rigorous training schedules and med school...but I find it is one of the only ways for me to get some time to clear my head.
I dedicate all of my races to an elementary school in Zambia that my parents are helping to build. For this year, I found a corporate donor (via ebay) that is donating $9000 to the school. In exchange, I have offered to wear pajamas bearing their slogan while I train and race! (I know...its pretty crazy...but its all for a great cause) More info about me and my running can be found at MilesForMacha.com
