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.

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

Up-down mile repeats in Emigration Canyon with 4 min active recovery between each (down from the usual 5 min). Instead of continuing the usual up-down pattern, I went up, down, up, down, up, up, down, down. Having trouble getting my Garmin to sync up with Garmin Connect, so I'll have to add splits later. For now, I'll just point out that I felt horrible by about 1/4 mile into Repeat #3 and had thoughts of abandoning. Fortunately, I didn't, and it turned out to just be a rough patch. The headwind coming down the canyon seemed especially strong today, so I hope that accounts for some of the slowness of the uphill splits.

Garmin Connect seems to be working again, so here are the splits:

1: 6:35 (AHR 166/MHR 178)

2: 5:21 (167/173)

3: 6:29 (174/179)

4: 5:13 (169/174)

5: 6:46 (174/179)

6: 6:39 (171/176)

7: 5:34 (165/171) (disappointingly slow--I think I must have been subconsciously saving up for the final repeat)

8: 5:09 (168/176)
