Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

I have just started running after my dad ran the Boston Marathon a few days ago.  He asked me if I would train to run the last 6 miles with him, and I did.  I ran from Heartbreak Hill to the finish line with him.  The race caught my interest immediately, so I did a ton of research and developed my own training schedual.  I started on Monday, so I'm literally just starting to run.  

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to be able to qualify for the Boston Marathon, in which I will need a time of 3:10.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to not only enter, but WIN races later in life, whether they are only 5k, or if they are marathons.  

Personal:

I'm 19, 5'7", 140 lbs.  I'm one of 5 children, the second oldest.  

My fastest mile run ever was a few weeks ago, at 6:30.  On that day I ran a 6:30, followed by a 6:50, so I know its possible to run a sub 7 minute mile for several miles for me.

I ran way too fast in the beginning quartermile, so after 1 mile i was dead and kept an 8:30 pace for the second mile.  Now that it is the summer I'm going to be training daily with my brother. Boston here i come! :)
