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.

Elephant Rock 7 Mile Trail Run * warmup and cooldown. 1000' climb in 3.4, then 1000' drop in 3.4. 1st, won by something close to 10 min, and #2 for this route all time on Strava. Went a nice controlled tempo on the up, then cruised 6 min pace on the down. Right hammy was a little tight, so I couldn't quite push as hard as I wanted. Still, happy to get the win.

Thanks. It was actually the first year they put it on, and I only heard about it 3 days ahead of time.

Also, I had 47:57.x on watch and rd had me at 47:59, but somehow, he reported that and Ultrasignup recorded it at 48:00 as of yesterday. Hah. Oh well.
