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

I did my long run today because I'll be pacing Duane Newman for 13-15 miles of the Ogden marathon on Saturday at 3:00 pace and figured I would need an easy day in between.

Ran up Emigration at comfortable pace (around 8:00), then turned around with goal of maintaining MP the rest of the way. Splits were:

Mile 6: 6:00 (169)

Mile 7: 5:50 (180)

Mile 8: 5:50 (182)

Mile 9: 5:47 (184)

Mile 10: 5:39 (185)

My ipod didn't work (I was going to listen to it on the hard miles only), so I was left to listen to the clomp of my shoes and my rapid breathing. I had to work pretty hard to keep the pace and never felt like I could throw the hammer down. In the final mile, on the hill just past the zoo, I was hurting pretty bad and felt my pace slowing. Fortunately, I was able to take advantage of the steeper downhill after the post office and make up some ground. I felt pretty tired but not destroyed afterward.

AHR 169.
