Goal Type:

Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006

Marathon: 2:37:04 (St. George 2009)

Short-Term Running Goals:

Train for as solid a race in Boston 2011 as my schedule will allow.  Accept the fact that there isn't room in my life to train for a breakthrough performance and do the best I can under the circumstances.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Lose the all-or-nothing mentality and start using running as an outlet instead of an additional source of stress.

Personal:

I'm married with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls) and live in Salt Lake City, where I work as a real estate attorney. 

Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

Set PR (2:48:11) at Ogden to finish 7th, beating previous best of 2:53:25. Stayed with group of 5 for first 5 miles or so (on initial descent), but left them when pace dropped off of 6:30. Ran alone from mile 6 on. 1/2 packet Enervitene (w/H2O) around 1:00, 1:35, 2:00, 2:30; Powerade at every other aid station. Under 6:00 at 14, 18, 23. Blistered on ball of left foot. Doc in medical tent said midsole had broken down and that 300 was too much mileage on a shoe to use in a downhill marathon.

Easy 4 for first post-Ogden run. Soreness mainly confined to quads/IT bands. Left Garmin home but probably averaged 6:45.

Sugarhouse loop at relaxed pace. Had some pain in lower part of inner knee (near calf) for first mile, but nothing after that.

23rd Loop 5: 34:37 (avg of 6:55). Last mile: 5:52. Pain in same place as last night, but pain was less and only lasted 1/2 mile. A little residual muscle soreness in IT bands and some fatigue in quads, but otherwise feeling good.

23rd Loop 4, but ran into Ginger and ran ~2 miles at her pace. Soreness in right hamstring in location of old tear (1989) after run (none during), so stretched longer than normal.
