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.

| 35 degrees and very rainy = 20+ year old dreadmill facing up against a wall (will move otherwise) in the basement. Screen wouldn't turn on, but speed is manually set on a sliding analog bar. Hah. Mile 1 at 6:40, mile 2 at 6:20, miles 3 and 4 at max of 6. Too fast for me to get bored of looking at a blank wall 1 ft in front of my face for 25 min. :)

| Pretty nippy out there. 19 and a windchill of 2 degrees. Yesterday's heavy rain froze, but unlike in UT, MN actually does something about ice and the moderate to major roads were pretty good. The sidewalk near the ball fields that are closed for winter was just ridiculous, so it's impressive that they managed to clear most of everything else so well. Back roads definitely got a bit sketchy, as did a few chunks of the paved trail outside Katherine Abbott park. Parents' house to Warner, up to Maple, down to Mahtomedi, to Quail, to Briarwood, to Hallam, to Juniper, to Park Ave, and back. Wind gusts only got into the 30s, but it felt pretty crazy when snow was blowing in the light of far-away headlights. Good times. AP was slow, slow, slow (8:30 or 8:40). No desire to run remotely fast today, especially with the chance of a random patch of ice here or there.

Apple GPS is not great. The last 2 runs have been within 0.01 of mapmyrun measurement, but the few runs prior to that measured as much as 5% off, but short and long.

| 1 mile easy to gym then 5 at 6:30 on indoor track. The air is disgusting. Thanks for caring, Utah politicians.

| North Canyon (from top of Canyon Creek Road) up 1800' of climb to Rudy's Flat and back with Holly. Last 1.5 up was soooooo snowy, so super super slow. Always fun to be running and suddenly sink thigh deep into the snow. :)
Holly had a pretty outstanding snow beard afterwards:
