Running Accomplishments:

Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006

Marathon: 2:37:04 (St. George 2009)

Short-Term Running Goals:

Train for as solid a race in Boston 2011 as my schedule will allow. Accept the fact that there isn't room in my life to train for a breakthrough performance and do the best I can under the circumstances.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Lose the all-or-nothing mentality and start using running as an outlet instead of an additional source of stress.

Personal:

I'm married with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls) and live in Salt Lake City, where I work as a real estate attorney.

Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

6x3-min repeats at Sugarhouse Park with target of 5:30/mi pace with warmup and cooldown and active rest. Splits were:

5:27/mi (171 bpm)

5:28/mi (180 bpm)

5:26/mi (179 bpm)

Potty break (had to wait for the grounds crew to unlock the restroom)

5:29/mi (171 bpm)

5:14/mi (175 bpm)

5:16/mi (180 bpm)

The last two repeats had a little downhill but no uphill, which contributed to the faster pace. It felt good to finally hit all of my splits at or faster than my target pace (it's the first time since I started doing speed work in late March). The best part was that I set my pace based on perceived effort as opposed to speed. Since the 305 doesn't display pace during intervals, I've struggled to find my pace without going overboard in early repeats, then crashing later on. Today was a needed confidence-booster that should help me make my quality days more productive going forward.
