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

Still in Korea.  Got carried away running along the Han river and missed the turn that led back to Olympic Park.  By the time I figured out what was going on, I was 1.5 miles or so past the turn.  I was planning to run 8.  I love running at sea level, though!

I ran with my dad around Olympic Park this morning.  He hasn't been able to run for 25 years or so due to bad knees.  However, with the padded trails all around his place in Seoul, he's been able to work up to 3 days/10 miles a week.  Pace was nice and easy, but it was great to run with my dad.

Still in Korea and enjoying the trail system along the Han river.  I feel like a rebel out there without a face mask and full skin covering from head to toe (the Koreans are very sensitive to the Yellow Dust that blows over from deforested China and also to sun exposure).

Last day in Korea, maybe forever.  I wish we had such an incredible trail network at home.  I could do all of my long runs without ever worrying about vehicular traffic, cambered roads causing IT problems, sidewalks causing shin splints, etc.

Back home.  It was bizarre to leave Seoul at 6:30 p.m. Thursday night (Seoul time) and arrive home at 6:40 p.m. Thursday night (SLC time).  Friday was a long day at work, with my head buzzing from jetlag.  This morning's run felt awful.  Who knew that altitude and a little climbing could make such a difference after only a week of running over flat terrain at sea level?  I was going to run 10, but after a couple of miles it was clear that I wasn't up to it.  I ran over to 11th Ave and back and nearly collapsed running up Alta Street toward Shriner's.  Let's hope the jetlag is short-lived.
