For the Eugene Marathon, I'm aiming to run 2:58:50. This is what Spiridon Louis ran in the 1896 Olympics, which was then the world's fastest time. I have until May 3, 2009 to train, so this may be doable.
The Circumnavigation, however will be more difficult. I'll do the 41-mile, 9,000-feet elevation change run in August of 2010. John Coffey's record time of 6:24:33 still stands, so to beat that I'll have to cut my 13-hour time in half. I'll have to employ my mountain ninja training to run a lot faster.
