| 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.

Still in St. George, so Brooke and I decided to run part of the marathon course. We drove 18 miles from the condo, which took us to Veyo. I ran the first 10 with her to see how my Achilles would handle some distance. Fortunately, it was fine. I felt it on the way up Veyo and a little on the hills around Dammeron Valley, but the pain was slight. We had left a car at the parking area for the trail, so I dropped off and let Brooke finish out on her own. She is getting fast--her overall average for the 18 miles was sub-8:00.
We saw the new qualifying standards for Boston last night after we got home. 5:59 faster for each age group, plus a waterfall registration based on how far ahead of your qualifying time you are. I love it. The only bummer is that because the registration window opens in mid-September, St. George will no longer be a viable qualifying race for the following year (it will still work for the Boston race taking place two calendar years later). |

| More ASTYM treatment. I was a little worried that my Achilles would be a little inflamed after yesterday's 10-miler in St. George, but it seemed to recover just fine. I did use a little ice last night as a precaution, but I didn't notice any pain getting out of bed and it wasn't sensitive to the touch, even when Ryan started scraping it with the tools. Hopefully it really is on the mend. I'm going to try to run every other day this week to see how it handles that. | |

| I had planned to go out for an easy 6, but I decided to cut it short after I could still feel slight pain in the Achilles after 2 miles. The pain was minimal, but more than I've felt on my past few runs after the first half mile. I may wait until Saturday to run again, just to play it safe. With Boston less than 7 weeks away, I can't afford another setback. |

| Still feeling a little skittish after cutting short Wednesday's run, so I decided to stick with the bike today. 2 hours on the trainer in the basement. Fortunately, I was able to watch the second half of the BYU-SDSU game, which mitigated the boredom to some extent. | |
