Running Accomplishments:

Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006

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 woke up to lightly falling snow. It wasn't heavy enough to turn Maja back, so I brought her along and we enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable jaunt down to 17th East, out to 27th South, up to 20th East, and back home. My achilles felt quite good from start to finish.

Easy pace across U campus, over Olympic bridge and down through Research Park. After a rough winter, Maja is starting to look slightly skinnier, and I'm sure she's as happy as I am that my achilles is getting better. (In case anyone happens to read this without knowing what I'm talking about, Maja is my dog. I'd hate for someone to think I was talking about my wife that way!) Achilles seems to be steadily better.

Drove out to The Store and parked, then ran home and back with Brooke. 8:40 overall average, which was probably a little faster than a long run for Brooke should be. Achilles was a little sore on the uphill sections but felt pretty good otherwise. I did some ice afterward and will be sure to stretch throughout the day.

Although I haven't trained for Boston (due to the Achilles injury), it is somewhat comforting to know that I can handle 20 without much difficulty (at a slow pace). This is the perfect year to run it with Brooke and just enjoy the experience. At least I know now that I can handle the distance without slowing Brooke down.
