| 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.

Today was the first time that I've been able to run in shorts and short sleeves without even feeling a chill at the beginning of my run. I headed out to Sugar House, continued past the park into the neighborhood just past 27th South, then worked my way over to Zenith, up to Imperial, eventually making it to the playground at Highland Park, up Atkin Ave to 20th and back home. Maja did great until about 7 miles, where she started to crash. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad and we made it home without me having to drag her more than a couple of times. What a beautiful morning.

| Hill repeats. Ran up to Wasatch and over to 21st South like I do for the H-rock run, then did reps up the hill between Wasatch and Scenic View Circle. I thought my lungs were going to explode, but fortunately that didn't happen. Between reps, I walked briefly, then jogged back down the hill and a little on the flatter road. After 5 reps, I ran up to the H-rock trail (with several walking breaks along the way, since I had already blown up), ran past the rock (didn't climb it) to Devonshire and eventually down through Donner Park and over to Sunnyside and home. For future reference, it's a great hill workout, but hard to maintain a decent turnover due to the ridiculous grade.

| Easy loop out to Sugar House, then through the neighborhood south of 27th, eventually to Imperial and out to 33rd and back. Took Maja out for her longest run ever (previous record was 8). She did well until 7.5 or so, but only had a few slow patches after that. Left AT was tight when I got out of bed but didn't give me any trouble on the run and doesn't hurt now (two hours later). | |

| Relaxed loop with Maja down 21st East through Country Club, down to the park, returning along 16th East route.

| Ran up Emigration to about a quarter mile past the Pinecrest turn and back. There was a large group from a running club that was doing a supported run in the canyon, so I spent much of my time passing them in small clumps. They were all super friendly and offered me refreshment each time I passed their support vehicle. For better or worse, having people to chase probably kept my pace faster than it would have otherwise been. I had planned to do 5 miles at MP effort in the final 5 or 6 miles of the run, but I ended up hitting the gas as soon as I turned around. I pushed hard until the 13-mile mark, where I slowed for my cooldown, but the pace was still just slower than 6-minute miles for the final 2, so I'm counting that as MP effort lite. My hard MP effort miles ranged from 5:43 to 5:54. That effort felt more like a 5:20-5:35 pace felt at the peak of my training last summer, so I still have plenty of work to do to get myself back in shape.
