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.

| AM: Taper has begun with an easy 7.5 at 7:37 average pace. Since it's Sunday, I brought Holly and communed with a good group of folks, with whom I did 4 laps of Liberty, then a little out and back on 6th, then a mini lap of Liberty. Others were going farther, but Holly was tired and starting to drag on the out and back on 6th, so we turned it around. When we got back to Liberty, she had a drink and got some energy back, so we did one more mini loop of the park for 7.5 total.
PM: Ski day #34 of the season. It was horrible at first (very windy with graupel snow that stung the face when riding fast), but it quickly tranisitioned to nice powder, making the last 2 hours of my 3 hour ski session remarkbly fun. Legs felt infinitely better than yesterday and I rode pretty hard.

| Ski day #35 of the season (thanks George Washington for having a birthday!), took the day off of running. I'm only planning on running 5 days this week, since it's taper time.

| Hah... didn't get home until after 10 PM and just didn't feel like running in the dark. Guess I got my 2 days off this week already. :)

| PM: Brighton night skiing. 6 degrees at the peak with 45 mph wind, gusting to 75 put the windchill in the -20s. Pretty cold!
Later PM: 8.1 miles at ~marathon effort. Course had 300' of uphill and 300' of downhill, so 6:18 pace was worth 6:12 on flat. Altitude adjusted, if I could hold this for 26.2 here (I think i could, or very close to it) this would be worth 5:56-5:57 pace at sea level. Interestingly, I timed it from home, but intentionally didn't wear a watch, so it was purely based on feel.

| Holy crap. Such a lazy taper. I guess my body needs rest! I haven't gotten enough sleep this week, but got in ski day #37 for the season in the AM before going to the lab. I won't take another day off this week... I swear. I only wanted 40-50 miles, and I'll still hit 40 at least.

| 2 miles from campus (downhill) in 11:04, then 4.5 more easy miles. Didn't have much time to run due to entertaining prospective students, but stopped by home and let Holly do 2 of it with me.

| 9 AM to 4 PM: long ski day at Brighton with prospective students. Ski day #38 of the season and #5 of the week (also Sunday, Monday, Wednesday evening, Thursday AM).
5:30 PM: 8.2 miles easy with Holly. Didn't wear a watch, intentionally, to avoid thinking about pace. On 5th to Liberty, 2.75 trail loops, back on 7th/South Temple. So warm out that I got to run without a shirt! Apparently not all the locals liked this, as a drunk old man on a bicycle, who cut me off in a crosswalk while he was running a red light, called me a word inappropriate for posting on fastrunningblog (having to due with sexual orientation) and offered to fight me. Interesting times. :)
Very light week of running, but I skied 5 times, so it felt like more than 30.3 miles. Basically, I just decided to do what I felt like doing this week (other than doing workouts), and due to a few late nights, that only resulted in 4 runs. I've been itching to run fast quite a bit this week, so I think my body is really getting primed up to race!
