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.

| Pasadena. Same loop as yesterday, but tacked on an extra 2 and a half ish at the end. Starting at 8:15 am and having 8 oz of water before made the temps easy. 7:33 AP. 270' gain. Nice that 10ish at mid 7 feels easy.

| Legs surprisingly felt great today, so I did 11.6 at a higher effort than usual (7:30 AP on the dot, at altitude, with 430' gain). This caps off 57.3 miles in one week! Amazing to see that I'm able to be back at this point and not hurting myself. Guess taking it pretty easy on nearly every run and not doing any huge jumps in mileage has been helpful. Looking forward to continuing to ramp it up and getting into shape. Weight is responding well to proper diet, and it's only a matter of time until I'm in shape again.

| 4.3 at 8:02 AP. Told Daria I was just going to do 4 at 8:30 to really just get a super easy active recovery. Actually did a little more at a little faster, but close enough, and kept the average above 8. :)

| 18 miles at 7:29.9 average pace. Hah. (18.01 in 2:15:03 means ever so slightly under 7:30 pace). I'm rather surprised that 18 miles at "sub-7:30" didn't kill me. Fitness must be coming around really quickly. Anyway, the route was Fritz's old house to JRP trail, where I immediately went the wrong way (stayed on the gravel along the river instead of going around the golf course, which was rather dumb considering that I had to jump a short rope). That added a half mile, then I kept going up JRP, with the detour between 200 S and N Temple, back to the little loop prior to Center Street in NSL. I planned to take the loop, but didn't think I ought to go over 18, and was going to be 18.5 with the extra distance early on, so I cut back to Redwood and then threw in an extra .2 at the end to get up to 18 even. Really, I can't reiterate enough how happy I am that this didn't wreck me. Sure, legs feel pretty dead - I've only run over 13 miles once in the last year, and that was 21 or 22 miles at Jordan Chang's 100 mile pace, with plenty of breaks - and the pace felt casual the entire way. I still have 15-20 pounds to drop, so I ought to be able to get back into actually good-ish shape when the weight is back to usual.
Other note... I'm at 63.7 miles in the last 7 days, and that's my biggest week since Summer 2014. Jeez. It's been too long since I trained for real.

| Only looking to be about 50 or just over this week, and hit 43.5 in 4 days, so I rested up yesterday and just got in a couple miles before work today. 7:38 AP. Will keep tomorrow pretty short as well.
