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 late night run (started at just shy of 1 AM!) due to not being able to get out earlier.  I'm glad that I've gotten to the point at which it's just become second nature again that I run everyday and don't take a day off, although I was super exhausted during the run.  Fortunately, I ran with Holly and she didn't really want to run faster than 8:30 pace, so it stayed nice and easy (8:26 AP).  My place to South Temple along 5th E to Liberty, half lap, along 13th to 9th E to 21st S to 7th E, back to Liberty, along mulch and then back up 7th E to South Temple and back home.  Basically a big figure 8.  Now that it's after 2 AM, it's really time for bed...

I think that's a Friday run. Nice couple of weeks you've put together.

James/Fiddy and I had this discussion awhile back and we came to the conclusion that it counts for the day you woke up on, as long as you do it before 4 AM. After that is the next day. I think that's my general rule at this point. Thanks!

You are nuts for running at that hour. At least you had company.
