Marathon Top 10 Finishes: 7 Bridges ('15), Utah Valley ('13), Salt Lake City ('08), Top of Utah ('07), and St. Louis ('04). Ran around the equator (24901.55) in 4,388 days.
And my largest challenge to date, raise $20,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of my cancer survivorship and in memory of those lost to blood cancer...
DONE! $26,403.70
Grew up outside Chicago and joined the blog while I lived in Salt Lake City. Now living outside Birmingham. I am married with two daughters. Wife thinks I'm crazy for doing marathons. And yes I am crazy I'm a scientist for a living...
AM: T.O.F, but I got out. Just to the City Creek overlook
and back from lab. Day is going well so far. Lot to get done before lab meeting
on Monday but so be it… Avg. 9:29 HR 142
Thank you to those who are still showing up to check on my
training. I’m sorry about not being good about checking in on others. Right now
I have to focus on family and work and until I get the two manuscripts I’m
sitting on out the door it will be not much “free” time for checking on all the
other blogs I would like to know about.
PM: Stress release mile. Trying to sneak in a couple
2-a-days. It is easier scheduling family and experiment time around 2X45min
breaks than 1X1.5 hr break. Also, from last year I really think the 2/d
approach is healthier and produces better results. Whatever was going on with
my weight is now fixed (Sat, as I type this.). I think it was a combination of
a bad day, dehydration and a PM weighing vs. my usual Mon/AM. In any case
tonight was rough so I went to do my FireHouse mile and blow off some steam.
For those of you who don’t know this is a nice gradual downhill mile that I run
hard from time to time. I’ve run a 4:51 on it last year. It is a 2-mi wu to the
mile then a nice grade down to the Memory Grove overlook. Tonight I hit it in a
5:01!, HR 184. I was happy with that. The course a ran was the same as in the morning
just with this mile hard. Avg. 7:33 HR 157

Things are moving in the right direction in all aspects. Sometimes just not as fast as I would like. As I try and tell my 3yr old, patience, patience, patience...
