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.

Off, making sure to rest the hip after the biggest mileage day in months.

Good arm/shoulder workout, then a hair over 6 miles in 43 or 44 ish minutes (didn't wear a watch, just checked my car when I started and finished.  Felt a little imbalanced (right foot is definitely still crossing the midline), but no hip pain, despite this being the longest I've gone with no pain in months without having any anti-inflammatories in my system (pretty sad, right?).  Parking lot behind field house to Guardsman to 1500 to Sugarhouse Park to 1700, through a very indirect route through some densely wooded park that I didn't previously know existed, somehow back out on 1700, even though it seemed to disappear for a few blocks, back to Guardsman, back to my car.  Not the most inspired run ever, but still encouraging.

Race: Dart 5k (3.107 Miles) 00:17:38

Warmup a little less than a mile, Dart 5k in 17:38 (5:35, 5:43, 5:46, :32).  Really honest effort.  Usually I'm disappointed that I didn't push hard enough in a 5k, but I don't feel that way today.  I took it out a little on the quick side and was working super hard by the end.  This is, of course, barely faster than May's half marathon pace, but after all the troubles I've had since then, this is still a really good result right now.  Ran the course again as a cooldown with Jake, Allie, and James.  Hip was slightly sore in the last quarter mile of the race (despite 2 ibuprofen), but I was pushing hard, so my form probably went to crap at that point.  That said, it didn't hurt in the cooldown.
