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.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

Ran across U campus to Federal Heights Drive, then up to University Hospital, across the med school campus, then through Research Park and home.  Had two unleashed dogs try to attack Maja (no apologies offered by either owner, which left me a little miffed) and battled traffic at about every other intersection once I reached the hospital.  Not the most relaxing run, but at least the weather was nice.

After a pretty lousy week in terms of getting out, I decided I needed some miles in my legs if for no other reason than to give myself the confidence that I could handle running Boston with Brooke without looking like a fool.

Drove out to Hillcrest High around 5:15 and ran north through my old digs in Murray, through Murray Park (restroom was open--great news!), up Atwood, over to 500 East, then up to Liberty Park and back.  Very easy pace--around 8:12 avg on the way out, 7:30 avg on the way back.  Knees felt a little sore for the final few miles, but that's probably due to the lack of miles in the legs.

Very little achilles soreness following the run and throughout the day, so I think Boston is officially a go.  I should also be ready to start training for SG once Boston is over.
