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

Brooke and the kids headed down to California for Spring Break, so I have no good excuse for not running first thing this morning.  I'll blame it on the lingering effects of jetlag.  Anyway, I was planning to take Maja running after work since she'd been on her own all day.  However, the storm was raging by the time I made it home and I didn't feel like battling it.  Instead, I strapped on the VFFs for an easy run in front of the TV to watch the Duke-Butler game.  I felt good and was thinking about stretching out the run a bit to see how long I felt comfortable in the VFFs, but I somehow developed a blister around 3.5 and called it at 4.

Woke up to 6 inches of snow and a beautiful morning.  I took Maja out to Sugarhouse and worked our way back along 16th and 17th South, trying to stay on back roads so we could run in the street.  It was gorgeous (especially because the snow won't last long).

Ran on the treadmill while watching Seinfeld. Nothing interesting to report.

Took Maja out after work in shorts and a t-shirt.  Gorgeous evening at the park--people were running, walking, cycling, barbecuing, playing frisbee, baseball, football, lacrosse, you name it.  A nice change of pace after the way the week started.
