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.

10 miles in 71:xx with Kevin Smith. Didn't feel that great on the uphills at the end. 1000' total climb, from campus to Sugarhouse Park to Liberty Park and back, rather circuitous route. I think he blogs on here, so see his listed on 12-3 for the exact route (except that I did an extra half mile at the beginning, whereas he did an extra 1 or 2 at the beginning and an extra 1 or 2 at the end). I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up. |

10 miles, 70:01, NSL up to Northern Bountiful and back as a loop. My place up to 89, up 89 to the turn onto 1000N, across that to Main, back down until it hits the diagonal with 89, back on 89. Started at roughly 7:30s and gradually increased, finishing around 6:20. I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up.

12 miles, treadmill, workout. 2 mile warmup in 14:0x, straight in to 3x3 mile with 2 minutes rest. I didn't adjust the treadmill and just left it at flat, but figured this is fair since my goal marathon in March (Phoenix) is close to sea level and net downhill. Splits were 17:27, 17:11, 16:55. I was a little more fit than I expected, so 17:00 flat for each would've likely been ideal. 1 mile cooldown at end at about 9:00 pace. I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up. |

| 5 easy AM miles with my dog, Holly, in :41. Hip thing was a little off. 7 moderate PM miles with 2000' of climb. Felt like about marathon effort. Up from NSL to eaglewood golf course, around the top of it, and then along 5 of the holes, then back down. 46:0x for that 6 miles (note all the climb, hence the slower pace), and then 1 mile jogging with Holly. I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up. |

| 12 miles with my dog, Holly, 2500' gain, 1:44. Up to Eaglewood golf course, along the entire course backwards, plus a decent bit of doubling up when I took a wrong turn at a fork in the path, and then back down. Very undulating course and was a little longer than I expected (only planned for 8 or so). I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up. |

| 18 miles with a big group down in Provo in 1:47:xx. 10 on the toe path outside the First 5 at about 6:48 pace, next 5 at about 6:00 pace (Ouch!), and then 7.5 up and down Provo Canyon in 50 minutes flat. I had to run about a half mile total to get to and back from a bathroom before the start, so I just added on 3 minutes to my time and rounded to 18. Average pace almost exactly 6:30s. My marathon PR (soft) from 2009 was 6:36 pace at just above sea level. This was similarly hilly or even slightly hillier and at 5000' or so, so this is a really good sign. 6:30 is not my goal marathon pace (somewhere around 6:10 likely is, but 6:30 at 5000' equals 6:11 at sea level, so this seems about marathon effort). That said, it felt a little bit easier than 18 miles at marathon effort, especially considering the beat up legs I came in with, so this seems like a good sign to me. I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up. |

2 miles with Holly in the AM, intended to do more, but she had some distressing GI issues and I had to stop to take her to the vet (turned out to be nothing much, fortunately). Another 5 miles with Holly later. Just under 8:00 pace for both runs. I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up.
