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

Run 1: 4 miles. Wanted to get a few miles in before running neighborhood 5k with Jacob. Very easy pace, but had some fatigue left over from Saturday's run.

Pace: 7:29

AHR/MHR: 166/185

Run 2: 3.12 miles. Neighborhood Memorial Day 5k. Ran with Jacob to help him avoid the temptation to sprint for the first quarter mile and be miserable for the rest of the run.

Time: 29:20. Jacob followed instructions, only had to walk once for about 100 feet, and beat his buddy Zach in a sprint finish, so it was a complete success.

Very easy run to Sugarhouse and back. Took Maya along and she wasn't overly cooperative, which slowed the pace down. Very easy effort.

Allergies have been going nuts over the past few days, so I started taking medication yesterday. May have overdone it with both Benadryl (just before midnight) and Claritin, because I felt like I was in a fog on the run. Kept pace slow, but it still felt lousy, and HR was too high for such a slow effort. No matter how many times I go through allergy season, it always seems to catch me off guard how bad I can feel until the medication gets on top of things. Yuck.

Trail run with Black Sheep group. Lisa invited me to come along and it sounded like a good run in preparation for Wasatch Back, so I dragged myself out of bed at 5:30 am. Met at Cucina and, with group of 16, worked our way up to 11th Ave and down to City Creek, where we took off onto a trail that eventually connected up with Shoreline Trail. I stayed with the lead group for 3-4 miles until, on one of the steeper climbs, I looked down at my Garmin and saw that HR was closing in on 190. I backed off at that point and let my heart calm down. Felt fine after that. I was probably suffering a little more than usual due to my failure to run on Wednesday and Thursday. Need to be more consistent in the coming weeks as I try to get some fitness back. Overall, it was a great run with a fun group of fantastic runners.
