Local Elite

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

My left hip and lower back felt completely out of whack for the first mile or so, to the point that I almost turned around and walked home.  Fortunately, the pain started to lessen as my body warmed up, and I felt considerably better by the time I finished my little jaunt.  I stretched for 10 minutes afterward.  I may have to spend more quality time with the chiro to get this issue resolved.  In the meantime, I'll keep doing the exercises and stretches my PT prescribed.
