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

I had limited time this morning so I took Maja out for a short run before work but after getting the teenagers on their way.  Poor dog hasn't been running for a few months and has put on a few pounds and lost several steps in terms of fitness.  She gutted it out though and didn't slow me down too much until the final hill up Kentucky Ave.

Injury report: even though it was a slow, short run, my back (left SI joint and environs) is still bugging me a bit.  I'm having serious misgivings about training for Ogden, since the back seems to be okay only as long as I'm not actually trying to train for anything.

I brought my running gear to work so I could run home.  However, after checking the TUNA grooming report and finding out that SR 65 had been groomed earlier in the afternoon, I couldn't resist and took off early from work.  Skate-skied to the top of Big Mountain and back.  Conditions were pretty soft and the grooming ended about 1/2 mile from the top, so it was a little dicey at times, but it was fabulous.  It was my first time making it all the way to the top (I always run out of time), so the ride back down was pretty fun.

Injury report: My back loves skiing.  No pain or soreness.

Holladay-Holly Lane Loop.  Rainy and around 45 degrees.  Bizarre.

Injury report: Back felt fine during the run but tight afterward.  I was to stretch it somewhat with a deep glute stretch at work, which seemed to take care of the soreness for the day.  I'll have to experiment with that.

Still 45 degrees outside.  Since the snow has probably turned to slush in my favorite skiing spots, I decided to run again this morning.  Although it was an easy run, I felt sluggish in the final 2 miles.  Probably just one of those days.

Injury report: No noticeable back pain during the run.  I'll try to stretch it throughout the day to see if that helps keep the pain away.

Took my two little kids up to Brighton for ski school, then drove down to Solitude and skied up and back, with a couple of detour loops along the way.  Even at that altitude the temps were so high that it was like skiing on mashed potatoes.
