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.

1.5 mile warmup at 6:44 pace, Emigration 10 in 54:44 (about half marathon effort as a hard workout for late May's goal half, but not quite a full race effort), 2.5 mile cooldown at 7:16 pace.

Splits:

1. 6:17 - 200-ish' of the initial 290' net uphill in the first 1.3ish. Pretty uphill, pushed by two guys who fell off at about a mile.

2. 5:31 - Up the remaining climb, then settling into a comfortable, but fast pace on the down. Dropping the guys fully here.

3. 5:12 - Cruising.

4. 5:17 - Calf feeling a bit tight from high mileage and not tapering, so relaxed ever so slightly.

5. 5:17 - Good pace. Not too hard, but not too easy.

6. 5:22 - Getting bored of the downhill.

7. 5:27 - A little lazy.

8. 5:25 - Still a little lazy.

9. 5:19 - Fine, I'll pick it up slightly to make sure I go under 55.

10. 5:21 - Similar to 9.

Last .05 - 5:09 pace.


I'm happy with this result. It was a bit faster than I expected for this kind of effort, and I'm glad to see that the recent consistency is paying off. Up next is BOSHO. 4th try is the charm, right?
