| 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.

| Again, not a real 7-mile run, since the Achilles is still inflamed. I did an hour on the elliptical at Steiner, with the last 15 minutes at a higher resistance (up to 10) while maintaining close to the same step rate (average before that was around 190, and it dropped to 180 as I increased the resistance). I jogged around the indoor track for a minute as part of my cooldown, but it was clear that the tendon is not ready for that yet. I stopped and walked after 100 meters. Since I'm running Boston WITH Brooke (and not just on the same day at my own pace) this time, I'm not going to stress out about this setback. I'll just keep going to the gym and trying to maintain some aerobic fitness while I try to get the Achilles working again. By the way, I was not sad to be stuck running inside today. It was 20 outside, but it felt like 0 with the wind.

Another scintillating evening at Steiner on the elliptical. This time I set the resistance at 4 and maintained a stride rate of 180-195/min until the final 10 minutes, when I increased the resistance to 6 and my stride rate to 200+/min. I'm trying to give myself a full two weeks from the reaggravation of my achilles before I try running again. That means next Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm doing my best not to die of boredom.
For the record, I started using the 100 Pushups and 200 Situps apps last week.
Pushups: Week 2 Day 1 Level 2 (9, 11, 8, 8, 11--60 sec rest between sets)
Situps: Week 1 Day 1 Level 3 (15, 18, 10, 10, 14--90 sec rest between sets) |

More quality time (60 min) on the elliptical. According to the machine, my average HR was 167 bpm. That seems pretty high, but I did keep my stride rate and resistance a little higher today (around 195 stride rate until the last 15 minutes, when I increased it to 200+, and 6 on the resistance until the final 10 minutes, when I increased it to 7, then 10). I can't believe how much sweat I seem to produce on that thing. The people around me, who all seem to be carrying on conversations and comfortably reading their magazines, are probably pretty disturbed by the sight of me.

| Two lovely hours over at Steiner: one on the bike and another on the elliptical. If I had to do this every day and wasn't just using it as cross-training while my achilles recovers, I would probably choose obesity instead. | |
