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.

| 9 miles easy. Eaglewood Lofts to Orchard to 5th South to 89, and back. 7:10 AP didn't feel bad at all, although I was definitely affected by the heat (only low 80s, but it was cooler in Africa) and I felt very dehydrated when I finished.

| 3 x 3 mile on treadmill. New apt has a few of the Freemotion i7.9, which are pretty awesome. They go anywhere from -3.0 to 30.0 on decline/incline, and up to 12mph, with a touch screen, and get up to full speed within a couple seconds, which is nice. My only complaint is that the treadmill doesn't go above 9.0 mph on a decline, which seems silly. I'd love to be able to do a few runs at -1% just to get used to the average of St George, but not being able to go faster than 6:40 makes the decline setting worthless.
Anyway, as for the workout, I felt aerobically insane. 17:03, 16:49, 16:39 at 0%, as usual, to match effort with pace I'd run for tempo at sea level, thanks to lack of wind resistance (ie, like a 10-11 mph tailwind). Didn't have a watch and there was no clock, so I couldn't count rest, but it was probably about 3 minutes. Faster than I have ever done this workout. I could tell that my legs were absolutely flying and they were consequently considerably more sore than they normally are after a tempo workout, but I just felt like an aerobic monster. Really awesome. I need to spend more time up at 19,341' above sea level.

| 6:59 pace. Late, so did it on treadmill. Legs are a bit sore from the workout still. Would've done more this week, but my legs just weren't quite feeling normal and I also got sick, so I just considered it a bridge week to get back into things.

| Honestly? Lazy. Figured my week sucked, so I'd start fresh on Sunday at the start of the new week.
