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.

Some lifting and then did 2 miles in 12:27.  Hip felt good and I really wanted to do a lot more, but I forced myself to be sensible and stopped after 2.

Leg work and then 3 miles in 6:40, 5:59, 5:31.  Felt slightly imbalanced, but no pain.  Longest run in a few weeks and longest pain free run in roughly 2 months.  Pretty sad, but it's progress.  5:31 pace feels really fast right now.  Can't wait to get back in shape...

Feel like more days of super short (1 to 2) running will help with strengthening.  Did .5 slow in 3:30 and then 1 fast in 5:14.  Running faster vs slower makes no difference for my hip, it seems, so I might as well keep the pace honest if I'm barely running.

Leg stuff and upper body also.  Maybe 10 miles this upcoming week? :P  Going to be a slooooow build.

Upper body in gym, then partied hard with Kevin. Hah.  Right leg is passing pt tests.  Now just need left leg to do so.
