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

While at PCMC for Kaela's heart procedure (catheter ablation for AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia), I ran over to City Creek Canyon and back after they finished prepping for surgery and sent us on our way.  (Procedure went perfectly and she was home by 5:30.)  Red air quality day and I felt it.

Injury report: SI joint bugged me a little on the run and continued throughout the day.  Ugh.

Worried about the SI joint issue, I decided to do a kettlebell workout in lieu of intervals this morning.  Unfortunately, I threw my back out in the process.  I'm guessing I already had some inflammation and that the kettlebell workout was the perfect catalyst for throwing my back into spasms.  "Freakin' idiot!"

Injury report: I can barely walk today.  Nice.

First day after Tuesday's back disaster that I felt strong enough to do something.  Still worried about my SI joint, I decided to ski instead of run.  Since we got some snow this week, I decided to head to SR 65 by Little Dell.  Tried skating first, but the new snow wasn't packed down enough to make conditions very good.  Turned around after 5 minutes or so and went back to the car and switched to classic skis.  Went up to "Original Trail" sign and turned around.  I wanted to go all the way to the top of Big Mountain, but I had to leave for St. George and ran out of time.  Trail was pretty soft, but someone else had broken a classic trail up to my turnaround point, so it was great.  There was about a half-mile stretch where a moose had also found the trailbreaking helpful and had weaved in and out of the ski tracks, but other than that the trail was pretty pristine.

Injury report: Back didn't bother me skiing, although it was tight afterward.  (Driving 4 hours to St. George didn't help.)
