| 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.

| The good thing about this morning's run is that it is Monday and I still managed to drag myself out of bed at 5:30 to get the run in. A small moral victory, if nothing else. The other good thing was that when I opened the paper to read while eating my cereal, I learned that Bin Laden is dead. That was easy. |

| Still working on getting back to 5-6 days per week, not worrying about mileage yet. Brooke and I have been eating more carefully over the past week or so, and it seems to be working, as I'm down 3 pounds so far. The goal is to dip under 150, but we'll see how that goes--I was around 155 when I graduated from high school and was in great shape. Since I was lifting weights at the time, though, I think getting below 150 is realistic and will help me shave time from my marathon and minimize injuries. When I trained for St. George in 2009, I dropped down to 154, but that was during August, when my training was at its peak. It was miserable to be limited to 2000 calories per day at a time when I was burning 1000-1300 each morning in my workout. The idea this time is to drop the weight before the training gets intense. Hopefully that helps me improve the quality of the training as well as preserve the sanity of my family in having to live with me in the midst of it all. |

Today's run reminded me why I get up early. After a long winter and a snowy spring to this point, it was incredibly refreshing to be out on a beautiful, clear morning with the green grass, trees in blossom, and flowers in bloom. I felt like singing, almost. Maja and I headed across the U campus, up to Popperton, then up near the Shoreline Trail (we stayed low and cut behind the JCC and through the Huntsman Cancer campus), then through Research Park and home. The hills still feel like mountains, but I think my fitness is slightly better than it was last week.
Brooke's work with my dietary habits also seems to be paying off, at least so far. I'm down about 4 lbs from where I was 10 days ago, when she started me on a low-grain, low-dairy, high veggie and protein diet. So far, I'm not grumpy and have had enough energy to get through the day without any trouble. We'll see what happens when I actually start my training program in a couple of weeks. |
