More Photos from Marathon Day
Thoughts, photos, videos, and the occasional Tweet
Hi, my name is Jared Johnson (bio). I live with my wife in the Washington, DC area.
By day, I am a project manager for Academic Technologies, a department of The George Washington University. By night, I am an MBA student at The George Washington University School of Business.
I enjoy planning the implementation of new technology and reading about topics in the field of management, theology, sustainability, politics, and emerging technologies. I volunteer at my church as a sound engineer and a small group leader, I am a hack photographer, and a sports fanatic. I explore these topics and more on my lifestream site.
You can reach me via email at jaredwj(at)gmail.com or on social hubs like Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed.

My Marine Corps Marathon 10K time was 57:45. #mcm10k
My official 10K (6.2 miles) time for Sunday's race was 57:45. I finished number 1580 out of 5110 finishers, and I was the 922nd male out of 1999. I am really pleased with the time and the pace (approx 9:19 min miles), especially since I only trained for the race for eight weeks. When I started the training, the maximum I could run at a time was around three miles.
My goal is to run a full marathon before next Thanksgiving (November 2010). Thanksgiving 2010 is significant to me, because it will be the 10-year anniversary of a very serious accident I had, in which I broke shattered both of my legs and my back. After reconstructing both of my ankles, some of my doctors were doubtful that I would ever be able to run and play sports again. It has taken a lot of physical therapy, a follow-up surgery, and a lot of running through pain to get to this point where I can run pain-free.
My younger sister ran the full marathon on Sunday, and finished just under 4:20. That was an awesome time for her first marathon!
