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.

| Eastern NSL and Bountiful loop starting by going up Orchard and then running all the way up the steep Eaglewood Drive, which felt absurdly slow today. Legs were actually kind of sore after yesterday's 5k. I also still felt like the flu was lingering a bit, which is getting extremely annoying. |

Was at work in the lab until 9:30 the night before, didn't get to run yesterday. For this run, did 15 miles at an average of 6:13 (1:33:16) on a treadmill. Split 10 miles in 62:28 (just under 6:15) and then did the last 5 in 30:48 (just under 6:10). Last couple were getting pretty hard, but it was manageable. I had probably 2-3 miles left in me at the end, but the goal wasn't to obliterate myself, so I stopped at 15 as planned. Oh, and I wasn't quite sure how to log this... This was a little faster than marathon effort, but not as hard as threshold, so I just put it as marathon pace. This particular workout, if i was maxed out by the end (I wasn't quite there) would correspond to about a 2:45 marathon on the Phoenix course, given that I'm at altitude but that running on a treadmill is akin to running on a slight (1%) decline due to several factors. I'm still undecided as to what pace to push for at Phoenix (I really would rather not blow up in my first marathon in 4 years), but I know that I would be dissatisfied with anything slower than 2:48 or so (I need a 5 minute PR to be happy). I have the feeling that I'll probably end up deciding to go out in 1:23 or so and just see what I can do from there.

| 8 miles easy, about an hour, just breaking in some new Kinvara 3s. I've been wearing shoes under 6 oz for awhile recently and I'm sick of buying new pairs almost constantly, so I decided to try these. First thoughts? Holy crap, that's a lot of sole under my foot. Hah. |

8 miles in a blizzard, up Lacey, around Bountiful/NSL golf area, over to the southern tip, and back down with various turn-offs, about 10 minutes per mile due to the unbelievably deep snow. Afterwards, jogged laps in a tennis court (also super deep snow) with Holly chasing me around for half an hour, another 3 or so. First part was super epic. The very south-eastern tip of NSL is almost entirely unfinished construction, so the roads were unplowed. At one point, I crested a ridgeline, running through knee-deep powder, into a very strong headwind, and the only thing I could see in the distance was the super bright white lights on the oil refineries on the west side. All of the elements combined and I felt like I was in some sort of supernatural post-apocalyptic setting. I don't know how to explain it, but it was pretty darn cool. Forgot to add in earlier... one mile of jogging across campus because I was running late for something earlier in the day. |

| Really didn't want to deal with the snow and the weather was bad enough to close the U of U, so I couldn't run at the gym either. So... just jogged 2 miles with Holly. Lame, yes, I know. |

| 3 mile warmup, 4 x mile with about 800-1000 meter jog between (varied for me, whereas everyone else did 1000), 2 mile cooldown. Run at Olympic Oval in Kearns on the 442 meter track. The "miles" were done from the 1600 meter mark, but lane 1 was closed in a couple spots and blocked by speed-skating coaches in a few other spots, so it was already a full 1609, if not a couple meters more. Add in dodging angry other track patrons (and a zamboni on one lap) and the intervals were probably a couple seconds slow. Mine were 5:22, 5:22, 5:25, 5:24, so pretty even. While it was hard, I had 1, maaaybe 2, left in me if I had to. That said, I'm not used to doing stuff this fast, so I was pretty sore afterwards. Went skiing later in the day and it just hurt like crazy. Hah. |
