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.

| First real run since Phoenix Marathon 8 days ago. Running sick did a number on my body and seems to have set me up for a long recovery process. Legs still felt hammered from about 2 miles in today. Did a group run with Jake, Fritz, Nate, and Rossy south from Highland High. They wanted 10, I wanted a little less. After 4 miles or so, they did a 1 mile-ish loop around some park, so I skipped this mile in favor of stretching out my legs. We had averaged low 7 up to this point, but picked it up afterwards with a 6:5x and then a 6:44, at which point, my legs had had enough. That one mile in 6:44 (17 seconds/mile slower than what I averaged in the marathon 8 days ago) felt like 5k/10k effort after 6 miles of running, which was a little scary. Hah. The group seemed to want to keep running sub-7s, which I had no interest in whatsoever, so I let them take off and dropped my pace to 7:45 for the last 2.5 miles. There are days to push and days to just listen to your body, and today was definitely the latter. I hit 8.5 miles in 62 flat and had to sit down for a few minutes to rest my trashed quads and calves. I didn't expect to feel great today, but I was a little surprised at just how bad I felt. I guess I've never simply taken 8 days off after a marathon before, so I think having had an active recovery would've been helpful. That said, the major factor here was probably just being sick. I was still feeling it in my sinuses yesterday, 7 days after the marathon and 10 days after first getting sick, but I think running today finally cleared everything out for the most part. At the very least, it can only get better from here. :) |

| 3 miles really easy as part of a date, red butte area trails. Legs felt great compared to yesterday except that I slipped in mud and bashed my knee on a rock, which was actually quite painful. |

| Super easy, with the pooch. 73 degrees, she didn't really want to run. |

| Workout with Bill Mennel, who is in town at his parents' condo up at Solitude. 2 mile jog up city creek, 2 miles down hard in 10:02 (5:02, 5:00). 2 mile jog up, 2 mile down hard in 10:06 (5:02, 5:04). Felt good, but getting sore in the last hard mile. 1 mile cooldown. Made this specific for Running of the Leopards next week, but it was about 1% steeper downhill, so a little faster. |
