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.

Long run. Moderately hard to get a soft Strava CR by a few minutes on a 4.6 mile section going into the mountains, then nice, lazy long run on mountain trails from there. Total of 3117' gain over 16.1 miles, with 9:45 average pace. Mallorca is incredible and the Tramuntana are amazing. Can't wait to come back here again. On to Copenhagen tomorrow.

8 on treadmill at 6:12 AP. Nice cutdown with first at 6:37, and last at 5:45. Average was easier than true tempo, but harder than MP. Then, easy 3.1 home (1.5% downhill average grade) in 7:15 average. 94 on the way home, but didn't feel terrible with shade.
