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.

I figured that a good way to keep my mileage low would be to go hard. Did 1.5 at a hair faster than the recent half marathon pace and it felt pretty hard (8:28). No pain, just felt ever so slightly imbalanced. I've been doing a lot of PT exercises. After running today, I started into some upper leg and back workouts at the gym to try to strengthen all of the imbalanced stuff. Squats, leg press, some back stuff that I don't know the specific name for, abs, etc, all at pretty light weight to keep from overstressing. Also am getting bored with not having any current fitness goals other than rehabbing the injury, so I decided to gain back a little upper body definition. Did some basic chest and shoulder stuff, which will undoubtedly leave me sore for a couple days since I haven't really lifted in a few years. I was really into lifting at the start of grad school, but fell out of it. I honestly wouldn't mind getting my old stronger body back, just with some extra running fitness. I eat a lot better when I'm lifting, so why not? I'm sure I'll fall out of it again when I get back to 80+mpw, but I'll have some fun for now.

| More weightlifting. Sore from the leg stuff, so just upper body today! |

| Upper body lifting, 1 mile at 5:30. Felt pretty taxing. :( I have a specific set of physical tests I have to pass before I'm allowed to return to training and I'm getting much closer to passing them (they have to do with the stability of my hip, upper legs, and back). Another 2 weeks of hard work ought to be enough if I'm on the ball about my PT stuff. |

| Lots of leg weights and some upper body stuff. Somehow already a decent bit stronger than just a week ago. I guess the muscular strength that used to exist can come back relatively quickly. Let's hope the running comes back quickly when I get to do that again for real. :) |
