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.

| Missed a second day in a row. Spent the earlier part of the day helping a friend move all of his worldly possessions and then worked with Daria on her National Science Foundation fellowship application until 2 in the morning. Her research proposal is great and she seems to have stronger credentials than virtually every other first year graduate student in the entire country, so hopefully she'll get it. How many other current first year graduate students have worked with the top professor in their field, earned 3 major research-based fellowships, and given talks at both the National Academy of Engineering and the White House? Probably none. A pay bump of as nearly $10k plus a $12k / year educational slush fund would be great for her to get. I'll sacrifice my running from time to time for these sorts of things.

| That run was a spectacular failure. Something must have been screwy with my dinner (fajitas, made at home, exactly as usual, so not sure what...), and in the first 5 miles of my run, I had to go to the bathroom 4 times. When my stomach was still upset after the 4th time, I just called it a day. At least I had chosen to run on a treadmill for the first time in awhile, just so Daria could run next to me at an easier pace, so I was easily able to take breaks when necessary (once a mile starting at mile 2).

| My place to legacy trail, to 5th South, to 5th west/89, and back. It was 41 degrees when I went at 11PM, and the handful of cold pockets on the trail felt like they were a solid 10 degrees colder. I wore a jacket, but no gloves, so I ran fast enough to keep the blood flowing (7:08AP). Lost 2 minutes due to being held up by a train on 5th South, but otherwise uneventful. |

| Helped Daria finish off her NSF app, then spent the night at home with her. No run.

| Solid long run. 22.4 miles at 7:15 AP. 18.4 outside at 7:19 AP (my place to JRP entrance on NSL Center Street, down to North Temple, left to the Rancho Market, and then back the same way), then 4 miles on a treadmill at 6:54 AP (mostly low 7, then 5:56 flat for the last .5) so Daria could run on the one next to me (she did 3.2 in the time that I did 4). Why did I turn around at Rancho Market you ask? Well, I wanted to take a bathroom break, but had to attempt 3 bathrooms to find one that was functional. First, I stopped at the 711, but they were out of TP, then I stopped at the McDonald's and their toilet was clogged, so finally, I stopped at Rancho Market. Ahh, Rose Park, my favorite area of town. :) In any case, I felt really solid, so that was good. I didn't consume any food or drink except for a swig of Orange Fanta while grabbing Daria from the apartment before heading to the treadmills.
Also, this was apparently my single longest training run since January (not counting the 2 road marathons and 1 trail marathons I've raced since January)! It really is time to build a new base!
