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.

| From Port de Soller on the Northwestern portion of the island. Absurdly beautiful running. 2 miles on road uphill, 6 miles on trail, 2 miles on road downhill. Splits were all over the place: 7:12, 8:27, 14:28 (837' net uphill... oof...), 9:06, 8:03, 10:06, 9:01, 6:13, 6:45. Total climb was 1713', which is quite a lot for 10 miles. Once again, Skechers aren't a great choice on super rocky, rugged trails (not your typical, smooth Utah trails).

| Long run. Moderately hard to get a soft Strava CR by a few minutes on a 4.6 mile section going into the mountains, then nice, lazy long run on mountain trails from there. Total of 3117' gain over 16.1 miles, with 9:45 average pace. Mallorca is incredible and the Tramuntana are amazing. Can't wait to come back here again. On to Copenhagen tomorrow.

| 8 on treadmill at 6:12 AP. Nice cutdown with first at 6:37, and last at 5:45. Average was easier than true tempo, but harder than MP. Then, easy 3.1 home (1.5% downhill average grade) in 7:15 average. 94 on the way home, but didn't feel terrible with shade.

| Lazy long-ish run on City Creek road and trail above. 8:45 AP, just under 1900' gain. Too hot at 1 PM in UT in July. Not going early made it hotter than it needed to be.

| AM: Casual 5 miles at 7:42 pace with 236' gain. Solo, for the first time in a morning run since I started doing them again - Fritz took the day off, as is tradition for him 5 days before Des News, and I didn't realize that Nate and Adam were still going. Legs were tired for a couple days, but they feel much better today. Pm: meandering run home. 150' up, 500' down. 7:18 ap.

| Home from work with a Mt Wire Summit mixed in. Stomach was super unsettled for whatever reason and the run felt miserable. Guess I've felt pretty good on most runs lately, so I'm bound to have a goofy one from time to time.

| 14 on JRP around 2:30 PM. 13 at 6:57 AP then 1 mile very slow to recover from the beating the sun gave me. Pace was fine, but 95F with 97 "Real feel" made it harder to stomach 13 semi-fast miles.
