Let me begin this blog by introducing myself. My name is Chuck Teed, and I am a 32-year-old running enthusiast from Saint John, New Brunswick. I would call myself a runner, but I don't always run as often as I would like these days. A typical year consists of me hitting a race or two, but I haven't run a full season since my early 20s and my finish times reflect the lack of effort. I am definitely not the runner I was ten years ago.
While I won't break any land speed records this year, I still think I have one good marathon in me. I've run three marathons in my life, the best being a 3:23.38 on six weeks training. With the proper base, I think I could crack 3:10 and qualify for the Boston Marathon.
This is where the blog comes in. I am attempting a qualifying run at the Kennebecasis Challenge Marathon October 17, 2010, and I will use this space to keep people updated on my progress. I've blogged about my running adventures on previous occasions, and I found it a wonderful way to keep my training on track. I can't be a couch potato if people are watching my every move, you know.
Anyway, I should cut this entry short and rest up for tomorrow's run. We're expecting a big storm, and I need to hit the streets before I get blown into the Bay of Fundy. Wish me luck!
