| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: May 06, 2006 Gender: Male Goal Type: Local Elite Running Accomplishments: Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006
Marathon: 2:37:04 (St. George 2009) 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.

| Final day in SG. Ran on SITLA road to Millcreek but veered off to the northeast on jeep trail that follows power line (parallel to Bone Wash trail). Connected up with Bone Wash trail (deep sand) and followed it past turnoff to Elephant Arch until I hit the 3-mile mark and turned around. Thought I had made it to Elephant Arch based on trail signs, but I talked to a couple of ladies on my way back who assured me that it was another 1.5 miles or so past where the Bone Wash and Elephant Arch trails diverge. I'll have to try it again the next time we come down.

| Was supposed to do interval workout today but couldn't fit it in. I'll have to try on the treadmill in the morning (red air quality alert).

| 12x400m intervals (400m jog between each) on the treadmill in the basement. Roughly 1-mile warmup and cooldown. Since this was my first interval workout in well over 2 years, I didn't want to go crazy, so I set the speed at 10 (6 min/mile) for the first 8, then increased it to 10.5, then 11, then 12 (just for the final one). Felt pretty good, although I was a little gassed by the last one at 5-min pace.
Injury Watch: Some pain in left SI joint, so I need to get going on some core work.

| More treadmill miles with continued gross air outside. Watched a surf movie on Netflix to keep my mind off it.
Injury Report: Didn't notice any back pain yesterday after the run and didn't feel anything this morning. All appears to be well so far. Hoping to motivate myself to do some core tonight.

| I couldn't bring myself to run on the treadmill 3 days in a row, so instead I went skate skiing at Mtn. Dell (2 x Big Loop). It was amazing how much I felt the effort in my core and upper body after only about 10 days without skiing. Good reminder to try to balance my efforts a little more.
Injury Report: Other than feeling tired in my core and upper body, it felt great. Although the conditions were icy (around 18 degrees during my ski after hitting 40 yesterday, which can make the course a little treacherous in places), I didn't fall and felt pretty steady.
Inversion is supposed to last for several more days. Gross.
