| 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.

| Ran the neighborhood 5k with Jacob. As usual, he started a little fast and was feeling beat up by 1.5. He pushed through it, though, and finished with a strong kick to beat his buddy. I ran the course a second time to get my mileage. Nothing interesting to report. |

Took my day off early because I didn't drag myself out of bed early enough to finish before Brooke would be leaving for her run. | |

10 x 2-min repeats at Sugarhouse Park (I decided it was time to start incorporating some terrain into my speed work).
Warmup: 1.02 mi
1: 5:11/mi (171 bpm)
2: 4:54/mi (177 bpm) (these were way too fast, so--spoiler alert--bonk ahead)
3: 5:31/mi (180 bpm)
4: 5:48/mi (179 bpm)
5: 5:29/mi (172 bpm)
6: 5:21/mi (176 bpm)
7: 5:24/mi (177 bpm)
8: 6:21/mi (180 bpm) (this one started at the base of the long hill on the south side and I was fried by the time I got to the top but still had about 1:30 to go on the repeat)
9: 5:27/mi (176 bpm)
10: 5:19/mi (180 bpm)
Cooldown: 1.5 mi
Because my 305 doesn't give pace information during intervals, I had no idea how fast I was going on any of the repeats. However, I blew up so bad on #8 that I thought I'd be lucky to stay sub-7. I clearly need to work on pacing myself on the early repeats so that I don't pop later in my workout. I was surprised that my HR stayed below 180 most of the time. That usually indicates that I'm not working hard enough, but I felt pretty hammered from #3 on. It seems like my legs were more of a problem than usual today, probably because of the introduction of hills into my speed work. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by most of the splits. Based on how I felt, I thought most of them would be 5:45 or slower. The 4:54 was a complete anomaly and clearly hurt me later. | |

Ran down to 17th South, then up to Wasatch around the zoo, through Research Park and back home. The hill on 17th hurt, as always. Other than the hills, pace felt comfortable. Gorgeous morning to be out. Felt slight tightness in my left Achilles on the way up 17th, but no pain. Good reminder to stick to my exercises and stretches.
AHR: 163 bpm |

Easy out-and-back in Holladay after work. Wind was blowing hard and temp was a little warm for my comfort, but the run felt good.

| Jacob had an 8:00 am game today and I was up past midnight, so I didn't make it out for the early run. While doing yardwork later in the morning, I managed to hyperextend my right knee. It hurt throughout the day, so I was a little worried about doing my workout. After that, Jacob had a piano recital and Kaela came home from Korea, so I just didn't have the time to go out for a modified run. I need to see if I can work in an additional long run next week, if for no other reason than to keep my confidence up going into Wasatch Back in a few weeks. | |
