2019 Running Schedule

Feb - Mesa Phoenix Marathon (AZ): 2:37:45. Lingering flu didn't help, but I still got a PR.

April - Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon (UT). Mostly just going to be a training run. Finally got myself into the sub-4 club last year, so I'll just have fun with it this year.

May - Stillwater Half Marathon (MN). Goal race for Spring. Looking for ~1:12.

October- Chicago Marathon (IL). We'll see where I'm at in Fall, but probably will be looking for low 2:30s.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy, make improvements, maximize my potential.

Personal:

I am a bioengineering PhD currently working as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Neurology at the University of Utah, where I design and improve neurosurgical approaches for treating movement disorders.


Summer 2018 update: I'm lazy about copying over from Strava, so find me over there for day-to-day runs until I eventually get around to copying everything over here.

Warmup a little less than a mile, Dart 5k in 17:38 (5:35, 5:43, 5:46, :32).  Really honest effort.  Usually I'm disappointed that I didn't push hard enough in a 5k, but I don't feel that way today.  I took it out a little on the quick side and was working super hard by the end.  This is, of course, barely faster than May's half marathon pace, but after all the troubles I've had since then, this is still a really good result right now.  Ran the course again as a cooldown with Jake, Allie, and James.  Hip was slightly sore in the last quarter mile of the race (despite 2 ibuprofen), but I was pushing hard, so my form probably went to crap at that point.  That said, it didn't hurt in the cooldown.

Considering you've barely run since May, this is really good!

Thanks, yeah, I really thought I'd be a good 20 seconds slower than that! I didn't do much in the way of 5ks while prepping for Provo City Half and the Utah Valley Full that didn't happen, so I'll be curious to see what I'm running for 5k when I'm fit again.

Great job, Collin! I'm sure glad you are feeling better.
