Running Accomplishments:

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

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.

Easy pace up to Wasatch and across Parley's to Millstream Lane and back. Took 1 Enervitene at the turnaround. At the 7-mile mark, I pushed the effort the rest of the way home, but I stayed on Foothill instead of going up to Wasatch. Splits and HR for the tempo section were as follows:

Mile 8: AHR 176 (5:27)

Mile 9: AHR 181 (5:47)

Mile 10: AHR 182 (5:40)

I had a good song playing during Mile 8 and I found myself really pushing the pace. HR got into the 184 range for a bit in that first mile of tempo, so I tried to back it off a little so that I could hold on. I didn't feel any of the malaise that I felt on Saturday and again on Tuesday, and the tightness in my left leg around the knee hasn't made an appearance since last week. Both good signs.
