Who I Am...

I'm a young runner with big plans for my future.  I don't think anyone should ever limit themselves as I have yet to limit myself.  Think big and train big and your day will come.  The key to running is patience.  Most people don't have it and give up, all you have to do is outwork and outlast them.  Every day I look to improve myself.  Sometimes that means killing a workout, sometimes that means taking a much needed recovery day, and sometimes it falls in between.  What it all comes down to for me is the innate drive to compete.

 

Latest Blog Update

Check out my Online Running Journal Blog

It sure has been a long time since I've been here.  And to be honest I probably won't be posting much here.  I just wanted to share my personal blog, my online running journal:

Duncan's Running Journal

I post there daily, logging every run and tracking my progress toward my goals and dreams.  I basically do it just for myself (it helps to keep me motivated) but I thought others may enjoy it as well. 

Here is a very brief update on what I've been up to since my last post here:

Track season didn't end how I had hoped but I vowed to train hard and reach my goals post-collegiately.  I worked hard over the summer, running 90+ miles per week.  Then came fall and I moved south of Missoula to work in a biological research facility.  Having a regular 40-hour/week job put a damper on my training and motivation and my mileage began slipping rapidly.  I maintained between 20-40 miles per week over the winter and didn't get to run at USA XC Nationals like I had hoped (just too out of shape).  Then I saw Bloomsday in my horizon.  Plus it began getting warmer and lighter outside, and I have finally fully adjusted to my work schedule.  I just started ramping up my training again with the hopes of doing well at Bloomsday and beyond.  I started the blog to track my progress.  I hope you enjoy!

I train 90% alone currently. It blows sometimes but it's all I can do. I actually got into distance running at first but it got pretty boring pretty quickly so I got into sprints. I sucked at distance as well. I ran for Clackamas.....I mean CRAP!-amas Community College Track and Field team a few years back but there's no way any 4-year univeristy will let me run with them. Clackamas CC is actually a good school, thier track program is just corrupt and sleazy. If you look at the video of the 2008 Pacific Twilight Men's 400 Heat 3, you'll see me in action. You'll see my weak stride and how it makes me get beat by EVERYBODY. People always tell me I'm a distance runner simply because I struggle to bust out a sub-30 second 200. But me and a few others strongly disagree. I'm pretty sure I was meant for the 200-400 events and it's starting to show. Well, I'm out of stuff to bore you to death with. :-) Good luck with running and try not to faint from the sight of Nick Symmonds naked in the recent Nike Commercial!:-D

So what are you going to after you college running career is done? If you wanna go pro, just move out to Eugene and join one of the many clubs there. You would not believe how much of a Track and Field Mecca Eugene is to the running community. It seems that just about every well known pro-T&F athlete in America resides there. I bet if there was life on other planets, pro-track athlete aliens would probably move to Eugene too! :-D
