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.

Morning run with Josh, James, and Adam (until I missed them after stopping at the 711 bathroom and had to run back on my own).  Last 2 averaged 6:15-ish.

 

PM: 1.8 miles to Liberty with the first at MP (6:11), then 3 easy miles with Daria.

Lazy.  Felt drained from the heat after playing a handful of rounds of disk golf.

5.4 miles from home to Hancock Fabrics to pick up some needles for Daria.  Ran there at exactly 6:30 pace, which actually felt pretty darn easy, but still promised myself that I'd run slower on the way back since I'm racing on Saturday.  5.4 home at 7:20 pace.  Then did 2.4 miles with Daria up and down D at 9:20 pace.  Hit 70.1 miles in the last 7 days.  First time I've broken 70 in a one week span since February. Hah.

6 with Josh and Adam at 6 AM.  West High to Memory Grove, up City Creek a bit, and back.

 

Another mile on the Diskgolf course collecting items I managed to lose.

 

Was an idiot and thought the Drop13 half was Saturday, when it was next Saturday.  Otherwise, I'd have run more.  Hah.
