Introduction to James
Introduction/About this Blog
James, referred to as "I" throughout this blog, currently lives and trains in Spokane, WA. I am 29 and do not have any immediate plans with my running other than getting faster and winning races. I would like to eventually break 2:30 for a marathon and if god is willing run under 2:20. My current PR of 2:40 doesn't really reflect my ability so that's why I've named myself a Slacker in this blog, slacker - underachiever, you get the correlation. In any case I actually do some pretty hard training at times and hopefully it will pay off with a quality marathon time in the future.
I love to write about my running so I'm very happy to be "blogging" my running log. Also, I've found that it's fun to think about what I'm going to write about while I'm running. (if you read that sentence a couple times it'll make sense)
In my spare non-running time I also coach a cross country team here in Spokane. It’s a small school, but they have been fairly successful for their size. You can follow their progress at http://www.sgs.org/webs/sgsxc/. I used to teach at the school too, but this year I am not. I took most of this summer completely off trying to figure out what to do with my life but still haven't figured it out. So now that I'm out of money I'll be working grunt labor jobs until I do. As long as I get to keep running, all is good.

Hey James! Thank you for the comment on my blog. I would love to hear more about your own self-coaching disasters and if you plan on getting a coach. I always enjoy reading about your adventures.
