Another Marathon PR- Where Will it Stop?

Stacey Vidt (Blacksburg, VA) set another PR in the marathon on Saturday at the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. Her time of 2:59:03 was her best by 9 minutes 28 seconds. She placed 8^th female, and 154^th overall in the race which saw 20667 finishers. Stacey was out of marathon racing on a fitness maintaining program for nearly a year until earlier this summer when she finally completed her Master’s Thesis at Virginia Tech, graduated, and began once again dedicating adequate time to training and preparation. Stacey is the assistant Cross Country coach at Virginia Tech.

Stacey’s last two marathons have been PR’s by approximately 8-9+ minutes. Stacey has her eyes on an Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifier, and whether she gets it before the Trials race in Boston in April of 2008 or gets it by the Trials race for 2012, she WILL get an Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifier.
