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

Tried to work in a little tempo in the middle of an easy 6, with the plan being to do mile 3 around 6:00-6:10. I have apparently forgotten what 6-min pace feels like, because I hit 5:25 pace (didn't look at the Garmin to adjust my pace) for 1/2 mile with AHR of 188 and MHR of 194 over that section, meaning that I was in VO2 Max mode. With my current level of fitness (or lack thereof), I couldn't keep up the pace much longer, so I decided to call it good on my tempo work for the day and finish at an easy pace. I'll shoot for a full mile next week and will try to stay just under 6:00 to see what HR does there. Should have slowed down the easy miles by 30 sec/mile or so.

Good news is that achilles pain is minimal and only present in the very early going.
