Who I Am...

My name is Danny Mackey, I'm orginally from the south subs of Chicago. I went to undergrad at Eastern Illinois University.  I studied Business Ed. and Biology.  At EIU I ran XC and Track but I was injuried or sick 90% of my career there, I actually was granted a 6th year from the NCAA, but I was injured that year. Next I went to Colorado State University for grad school and studied Exercise Physiology with research focused on endurance performance and biomechanics. After CSU I taught anatomy and physiology at Parkland College in Illinois.  Now I work as a Field Analyst in Nike Sports Research Lab up in Portland Oregon.

High School PR's: 800-1:57, 1600-4:29, 3200-9:47, 3mile XC-14:46.  AND more importantly never missed one practice in 4 years. 

College PR's all from my first year or two after that I was in a training room or timing splits for 4 years. 800-1:55.9, 1500-3:55.8, 8k-25:27 

Post Collegiate as of now. Mile-4:12, 5k (indoors)-14:46, 8k XC 24:50, Marathon: 2:21:38.

My goals are to drop all of these times.

So, I feel like I can't be a part of this website until I am running again, but I wanted to leave you a comment to let you know I'm reading and I had to join to do that. Notice the name? I think you know who this is.... yes, it's your girlfriend. You are fantastic.

Yo man! Yes you aren't crazy and I probably did meet you then, forgive me as on workout days I am a little absent minded and don't remember much. What were you doing in Eugene and how do you live Beaverton? A buddy of mine is taking an internship there in the summer (hes from NY). I was up at the Nike HQs for Nike Team Nationals and it was legit! YOur running seems to be coming along too over the years, you still going strong?

Hey, thanks for the blog comment man.  I know how bad stress can be on recovery.  I'm actually doing pretty decent on sleep most of the time, but every now and then it's a completely sleepless night.  I keep track of my resting HR a lot and I think it was about 10 beats above normal the other day from no sleep.  Yikes!
