| 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.

| Well, last week was a complete loss. Between a nasty cold, multiple nights with little sleep due to sick kids, and an all-around hectic week, I managed a grand total of 4 miles. Not good. I started fresh with an easy run around the park today. Maja came along and was a perfect companion on a gorgeous morning. My sinuses are still clogged and I'm not 100%, but I felt considerably better than any day last week, and it was just nice to be out. The rain has made everything a deep green that only lasts a few weeks, so I may as well enjoy it.

8 x short hill reps up Crestview
Warmed up by running from my house to the Emigration Canyon sign about half a mile past the zoo and back to Crestview (exactly 2 miles), then did 8 reps of the hill, starting at the Stop sign and finishing where the sidewalk on Crestview ends, with jogging in between each rep. Effort felt pretty strong. Cooled down for 2 miles by jogging back up to the original turnaround point and home. | |

| Easy 7 with Maja. Went out to the park, then continued on 13th East to Parkway, then up to Chadwick, over to Stratford, up to 20th East and home. It was a little brisk but clear and beautiful. Calves were a little sore from yesterday's hills, but everything seems to be working properly at the moment. | |

I skipped my run yesterday due to a rough night caused by what seems to be a sinus infection. I felt like my head was going to explode all night and couldn't sleep, and the feeling continued throughout the day. However, I tried a Mucinex inhaler before going to bed and it seems to have largely alleviated the pressure. I'm back to about 80% today.
With the health log out of the way, I can't believe I lived in my neighborhood for almost 8 years before finally running the H Rock. I took Maja and had one of the most enjoyable runs I've ever had in SLC. The 21st South hill wasn't especially fun, but the short segment of the Shoreline Trail was spectacular. When I got down to Donner Park I decided to tack on a little more distance by looping back along Wasatch through the golf course to 13th South and back. I still had to do a couple of little loops (around the church and up to the top of my street and back) to get the full 7, but it was a glorious run. The temp was cold but the air was clear and the views were spectacular. This will become one of my frequent loops. | |

| Headed up to Wasatch, across Parley's, and out to just before Churchill Jr. High and back. I left Maja home because she tends to be kind of useless after 8 miles. Listened to a fascinating This American Life that included a crazy story about hookworms and immune system disorders. I did the final 3 miles at MP effort or higher, but only the final mile was actually fast enough to qualify as marathon pace (thanks to the downhill from Wasatch to Foothill). Overall pace: 7:04 Overall AHR: 160 Last three: 10: 6:13 11: 6:04 12: 5:41
