A little over a year ago a local (Turlock, CA) elite distance runner, Miguel Nuci, contacted us about a sponsorship. We hooked him up with a Forerunner 305 and an account and just let him run. And run he has! He's run so far, and run so fast that he'll be toeing the line at the 2008 Olympic Marathon Trials set for 3 November 2007 in New York city.
Born in Ahuiran, Mexico, Miguel was raised in Salinas, CA and attended Cal State Stanislaus. He recently became a US citizen. He trains in the heat of the valley, running up to 140 miles per week. Check out his Activity Digest in the coming weeks as he'll be uploading his altitude training from Mammoth Lakes; love2runnuci.motionbased.com. And, in case you're a little curious Miguel boasts a Personal Record of 2:15:32 in the marathon. He set that PR at the California International Marathon in December 2006. His most recent marathon was Boston 2007, where he ran 2:20 (just 6 minutes behind the winner, not 14) and placed 15th in some of the worst conditions. Check out some video of Miguel:
