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.

AM: 20 miles with James and Allie, who themselves did slightly more. Pace was easy, probably about 7:40-7:45, which felt extremely pleasant, although I forgot my watch, Allie didn't have one, and James accidentally stopped his for 5.6 miles in the middle. Route was SE Liberty to JRP to 4500 south, up along the above road, back to 4500, along to 9th, back to 9th, back to Liberty, loop of Liberty, back to James and Allie's for Allie to grab her Saucony test shoes, and back to my car. Legs were tired before I started, but the run didn't make them more tired at all really, which is good, considering that this is probably my 2nd to last long run before Phoenix.

PM: Ski day #32 of the season. Legs were actually not so tired, but now that I'm home, I'm ready to be done with physical activity for the day. :)

Later PM: I lied about being done with physical activity for the day. Haha. Walked Holly to Memory Grove and wanted to get her to really burn off some energy, so I did ~30 hard sprints (50-ish meters a piece) with her, wearing jeans and moccasins. Hah.
