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.

| Exhausted after traveling back from southern California. Took a day off that I didn't intend to take off.

| Work to home via JRP. 7:10 AP. Felt pretty comfortable, but the last 2 miles (uphill) weren't super fun. Fitness is coming along. Just a week ago, 12 miles at 7:30 felt roughly (or almost) as hard as 13.3 at 7:10 did today. Yes, today was a bit net downhill, but it was also in the 70s and I was running into a headwind most of the way, unlike last week's perfect weather 12.

| Wanted to get a long-ish, very easy effort trail run in on somewhat tired legs, so today was perfect for that. 13.5 (11 on Bosho, 2.5 on roads) home from work with 2400' gain (2330' in the first 10, then a nice coast down home) at a very pedestrian 9:20 average pace. Roughly mid-8 equivalent effort on roads, so achieved my goal of long-ish very easy effort trail run on somewhat tired legs.

| Very easy 5 miles. Trails with 700' gain, 9:20 average pace. Legs were really tired, and I wanted a super easy day. Intended to go longer (more like 8), but this was what I had time for. I recently ordered a second pair of Vazee Summits. Unfortunately, old pair is mostly still in great shape, but I wore a really annoying semi-hole into the heel of the left insole that was bugging my foot a decent bit yesterday, so I retired them and will just use the new pair now.

Definitely a challenge today. Heat (low 80s) was really aggravating at the start and I was dehydrated from the beginning, so I didn't take it out super hard. I drank about 20 oz of water and ran out at mile 12. I could have refilled with a tenth of a mile pit stop, but figured I'd be fine. Bad call. By 16, my thirst was extreme. The mosquitoes on JRP were the worst I've ever seen, so I jumped back on Redwood. Got 10ish oz of water at a gas station at 17.5, but at that point I was pretty done. Finished up with an absolute crawl from 16 to 20 (literally like 9 min pace to avoid more pain haha) to end up at 7:53 AP. At the very least, it would have only been 19.6, but I did a large loop at the end to get it just above 20. I'll be smarter with fluids next time.
Calories consumed: ~200 calories of skittles. Haha.

| 7:30 pace. Played disc golf with Daria in the northern end of Centerville, then ran home. I apparently really like 7:30 average pace. Was dead on 7:30 yet again. Haha.
