| 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.

| 45 minutes on the bike downstairs. I adjusted the trackstand so that the rear tire wasn't rubbing the mat, and it made quite a difference. Saddle soreness was also much better than a couple of days ago. The combination of improvements helped me to put in a better workout. AHR was 160. | |

| 40 minutes on the trackstand, felt pretty good. ASTYM treatment #3, felt less good (something about hard plastic surfaces scraping against bones and tendons in the lower leg and foot doesn't make me excited). Ryan advised me to try a little light running tomorrow morning, since my next treatment is on Thursday. | |

| I started with 30 minutes on the bike, then took Maja out for a 3-mile "gentle" (per my PT's instructions) run. The achilles was slightly painful for the first 1/2 mile but didn't bother me at all after that. When I ran 2 last Saturday, I noticed intermittent pain throughout the day. So far today (5 hours post-run) the only pain I've felt has been when doing my prescribed stretches. Hopefully this all augurs well for a quick recovery. I have a fourth ASTYM treatment scheduled for tomorrow, then a trip to St. George for the weekend. I'll probably bring the bike with me but will try to fit in some light running while I'm there. | |

| More ASTYM treatment today. Ryan kind of worked me over and left me feeling a little bruised. Good thing my next session isn't until Tuesday. Based on the progress I've made thus far, he wants to do a full round of treatment, which means a total of 8 sessions (4 more). Although the time commitment is a pain, I think it's doing the job nicely, so I want to see it through. The last time I battled Achilles tendinitis, it took me about two years to get through it. If this ASTYM treatment is working the way it seems to be working, that would be an advantage of about 22 months, so I can deal with the inconvenience. | |

| In St. George for Kaela's soccer tournament. She had an early game so I had to sneak in a workout at 6. We're staying with some friends who have a place just off of Snow Canyon Parkway, so I ran on the trail to Ivins and back. Achilles felt a little tight in the early going but warmed up quickly and gave me no trouble thereafter. |
