26.2: 2:37:45 (2019 Mesa Phoenix) Short-Term Running Goals: Stay healthy!
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.

| Indoor track. Only had enough time for 6 miles at 7:00 pace before gym closed. Ran first at 6:50 and passed a kid in a color run shirt after 1 mile. He tried to not let me pass, so I ran the next mile just fast enough to gap him (6:10) and was surprised that he nearly hung on. He quit after my 2nd mile, so I settled into 6:25 average after that, for 5 miles at 6:27 AaP. This is fast enough for my legs right now that I made sure to do the 6th mile at a cool down pace of 8:30 or so. |

| Good company for 14 miles at James's 32 mile birthday run. Nice, casual 8:11 AP with loops at Liberty.
First week over 60, 50, or even 40 miles since 2014. In fact, since the beginning of 2015, my highest mileage week was last week at 31 miles. Funny that I doubled that this week. I'm not good at running 40 or 50 mpw. It takes some actual effort to get out the door for 40 miles in a week, so if I'm going to do that much, I generally just do an actual decent week of running, which generally starts around 60 for me. Legs feel fine and are handling the mileage well.

| 3 warmup at 7:22 AP. 2 faster at 6:22 AP. 1 easy at 7:40, 2 faster at 6:12 (faster than planned), 1 easy at 8ish, 2 faster at 6:23, 1 cooldown (didn't catch time). Indoor track. Nice to get in some fastish miles without having to dig deep. |

| Missed the last few days due to the passimg and funeral of my grandma. Sucks... Finally back today. 8 miles, indoor track, 6:47 AP. Still have weight to lose, so 6:47 feels like MP right now. |

| Near gym through campus to 15th east to sugarhouse park, a lap, up to 19th east, to sunnyside, to foothill, and back. Liked the new Adizero RC from Wasatch Running Center. |

| Left shin was a little sore yesterday and I could still feel it today, so I went short (4.4 miles) and slow (8:13 AP) with Holly, who is content at this kind of pace anyway. Just like any other sensible dog, she only has easy run and sprint paces.
Thanks to Glen from Wasatch Running Center for this pair of Skechers, a demo pair with minimal usage (20-ish miles?). GoRun 4 seems pretty similar to the old pairs, which is good. As usual, these are really cushioned and comfortable for lighter shoes, and the fit is great.

| Took yesterday off due to shin soreness. Felt it from the start today, but it never got worse. Guess that's good. 8 miles 6:52 ap. Surprisingly felt like a not-so-hard pace. Track. 44 laps. |
