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.

Things still feel a little off balance after the back was screwy last week, but there's no pain, which is good. AP just over 8:00. Nice and relaxing evening run. 200' climb.

Work to BOSHO to zoo to Foothill, to Cappechi and back, with 370' of climb. Very casual effort. Figured it would be about 9 min pace, but it was apparently 8:25. Very heavy rain during the run, but that's what shells with adjustable hoods are for.

Pasadena. 7:40 pace with 250' climb. 81 degrees feels like 91 after being in snow yesterday. Glad I got that out of the way early ish, as it'll actually be 90 later, and I'm not sure I could handle that very well right now. Hah.
