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.

| Very snowy city creek and BOSHO trails with Fritz, Roo, and Holly. Dogs definitely did more distance than we did, especially in the first half, when they were sprinting back and forth. Altimeter says I had 1860' climb, which is clearly a huge overestimate. My recolllection from this route in the past is that it's only about 1200', with just under 1000' from low point to high point and a bit of roll. I must have just accidentally measured altitude gain while I was driving as well, as it's usually pretty good.

| 9 miles in NSL/Bountiful. Up Orchard to 500 South to 500 West and back. I wore trail shoes because the people that live on Orchard in Bountiful, as a whole, really could not care less about leaving massive sheets of ice all over their sidewalks. In all seriousness, I have never been anywhere else in the world where the inhabitants are so inconsiderate in terms of their blatant disregard for other peoples' safety. Basically, it was at least 50% a trail run. Oh well. With these shoes, I was fine. Nice and easy effort with a 7:58 AP over a route with 340' gain.
I was awarded second grant for my postdoctoral work this past week (this time, a fellowship from the National Ataxia Foundation), so I'm off to a great start there and probably don't need to put in 75 hour weeks in the immediate future like I did the week before last. In the last couple weeks, I've also really reprioritized my time on weeknights, so this combination of factors should allow me to spend a bit more time focusing on getting back into shape.

| 7:45 AP, about 300' of gain. Mostly on snowy trails. Through echo lake, wildridge, katherine abbot, OH trail, and back with more of a full loop through katherine abbot. These Vazee Summit shoes have been absolutely fantastic on snow and ice. Good job, New Balance.
