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.

Finally logging mileage again.

 

Ran up the trail immediately north of Holbrook Canyon in Bountiful. I still have no idea what this is called. I used to think it was the Sessions Mountains ridge, but apparently that's the ridge immediately south of Holbrook Canyon. Probably more like 8.5, but got a little lost and did some extra off-trail mileage. The top of this trail is suuuuuuper rugged (hadn't been up this in a few years and forgot how bad the terrain was) and the Skechers were a bad choice.

Ran with Josh E, who did a little more than me. Good to get back out with someone else, and especially nice that both of us are super out of shape and not interested in pushing the pace.

Brighton to Ant Knolls to volunteer at Aid Station. Saw James clissold looking fresher than anyone else, except maybe the winner, come through, which was awesome. Back to Brighton around 1 am.

Was supposed to run with Josh, but screwed up. Was TAing a lab in MEB and just enough time to get to SMBB, grab my running clothes, change, and meet him by the trax. I forgot that my shoes were in my car and didn't realize until I was grabbing my running clothes and about to change. Of course, my car keys were still in MEB, so I had to sprint back to lab, grab them, sprint to my car (in the wrong direction), and sprint back past SMBB and up to trax. By the time I got there, I was 10-15 minutes late and he was already gone. Sorry Josh. Anyway, I did a kind of weird route that I've managed to remember every twist and turn of, and have mapped out. SMBB to MEB to car to trax to JCC, up 3 different trails to BOSHO (screwed this up), to Red Butte, up Mt Van Cott, along a few paths on the ridge looking for the best possible view (i haven't been up this peak in ages), back down the front, back through JCC, and back. 7.1 miles with 1700' gain, most of it coming in the very steep climb up the peak.
