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.

| Squaw Peak 50. First half was ok, second half was rough. Still, made it through on very limited training. Mentality was good, so I'll be ready for Bear when I'm in better shape.

| I had apparently forgotten how ridiculous the unmarked, ultra-steep, uphill bushwhack was in upper City Creek Canyon. I was super annoyed to not only have my legs get shredded, but to also have my average pace implode (7:46/mile for the 16.5 miles excluding that section, 8:47/mile including that section). Got home and found that I got a Strava CR for the terrible bushwhack. Hahaha. Extra funny considering that I only did it because I forgot how much I hate it. It's actually a super weak CR if you can manage to run through getting your legs and even legs and torso shredded by horrible bushwhacking. I can't manage that, so I hiked like half of the climb. Haha. A little hungry and thirsty at the end. Didn't bring calories or water. Had a few oz at the bottom of City Creek and planned to drink more right before jumping on the bushwhack, but upper City Creek water fountains weren't running yet. Fortunately, I bummed a little more water from a biker at Rudy's Flat, which got me through the rest of the run without too much thirst.

| In Mallorca, staying at the Pedruxella Olive Farm's Son Duri. Not much time to run, so down from Son Duri to MA10, back up to the Pedruxella Gran gate, then back down. Then, 1 mile of goat herding (see strava for story). A bit under 8:00 average with nearly 700' of climb in 4.2. Steep.

| Long run on the extraordinary MA10 in Mallorca. Son Duri to MA10 to Lluc and back. So many cyclists out enjoying the spectacular road, and I can see why. 2400' gain, so a lot of hilliness. Also, REAAAAAAALLY humid, which was painful, even though it was only 86 F during the run. Ran out of 2 bottles of water with a few miles to go. 8:37 pace through 17.5, then shut off watch to allow myself to be slothful on the final mile+, which is annoyingly uphill.

| Very much the wrong shoes for this run. Haha. Skechers don't do well on sharp rocks and rugged trail. Uphills were lazy, downhills were a crawl. Hahaha. 2050' gain, 9:45 AP.
