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.

7:01 average pace with about 200' of climb and 200' of drop. Felt like marathon type effort in my current crappy fitness, except that my legs aren't strong enough to hold pretty much any pace for 26.2 miles. Only knew time while I was running and got the distance afterwards; otherwise I'd have made sure to knock off 2 seconds per mile. Hah. Average HR of 159.

Ran up from the bottom of Solitude to disc golf hole 1 (1000' uphill) with a 30 pound backpack on my back, then played a round of disc golf. Good times.

3 miles to fed hill, 6 in the 7:15 group (sort of hilly, but not bad... Love sea level), 3 back. Good to run with the few guys still in the original bmore crew.
