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.

21.5 with Evan Cooper at 7:11 AP. Felt good for 17 or 18 and then felt low on calories over the final few miles, which wasn't particularly pleasant. Probably should've either eaten breakfast or brought a gel.

Route was Centerville trailhead of Legacy Parkway all the way up 9.4 miles to 900 south-ish Farmington, over the highway, up to 200 East, along that to Parrish Lane in Centerville, where we got water at Subway, over to 200 West, down to 400 North in Bountiful, over to Beck, along that to 350 North in North Salt Lake, over to Main Street, to Center (cutting through the park there), and then back to the trailhead.

Calf was oddly cramped basically all week and I was nervous to run. Finally got out again when I was in DC. Hurt for the first few miles then went away. Ran 7.6 at 6:58 AP (up Mass, down Rock Creeek, to the National Mall, to the road closest to the White House, up to Mass, and back. Then, jogged 2 miles in regular clothes for transportation later. Also, walked 10-15 miles.
