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: Excellent chest workout, decline pressed 205 lbs (bar + a 45 and 35 on each side). Did some hip stuff too.

PM: 14 miles. Just outside City Creek to Rotary Park (4.75 miles up from the gate), up the unmarked trail to Rudy's Flat, a little further to try to scout a connection to the City Creek West Ridgeline, to no avail, and then back. Took 3 ibuprofen, hip felt somewhat imbalanced at times (especially the last 2 miles), but pain free. Need to keep working the PT stuff, but as usual, the hip is still trending the right way.

Jogged a half mile with Kevin, who was riding a bike, to get to a bar to celebrate Spencer's birthday. Good times were had by all.

Also, 36 miles for the week? I'm halfway back to being a real runner!

Definitely, thanks! I'm going to be slow to up the mileage and might not for a couple weeks, but things are looking up.
