| 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.

| Plan was 5 one-mile repeats at Sugarhouse Park with 5 min active rest between each. I warmed up in my Vibrams along the outside perimeter, then started in the usual spot by the northeast corner. Unfortunately, by halfway through the second repeat, I was having GI trouble and needed a restroom. Even more unfortunately, Sugarhouse doesn't open its bathrooms until late (after 7 am). After checking all of the restrooms, I decided to try one more repeat and give the maintenance people until 7 to open up. By the end of the third repeat, I was dying, so I walked around waiting. When there was still no one in sight at 7:05, I gave up and went home. I need to plan better for this not-so-uncommon contingency in the future. Splits were 5:30, 5:29, and 5:24.

| Went past Sugarhouse to Highland Park neighborhood and wound my way back home via 21st East. Maja was gassed by mile 6, so the last two were a little slower than they would have normally been. It's my fault--this is her first run in 5 days (I don't take her with me on long runs or quality days). Avg pace was 7:27. |

| Easy effort with Maja through U campus and through Research Park. Didn't sleep enough last night, so even the easy effort felt a little labored. I'm hoping to do my long run tomorrow instead of Saturday this week, as we're headed somewhere for an anniversary getaway. (Not sure Brooke would be thrilled if I took off from the hotel at 5 a.m. on Saturday morning to run 18.) |

| Since Brooke and I are headed for an anniversary getaway (all the way downtown) tonight, I sneaked in my long run before work this morning. I ran out to Extra Space and back. Pace on the way out was leisurely (7:45), especially since it's slightly downhill the entire way. I picked it up some on the way back (around 7 flat). Other than some lower back pain (feels like a pinched nerve), I felt great. Last mile was around 6:20. |

| After staying at the Marriott and sleeping in until almost 9:00, Brooke and I ran 4.5 up City Creek and back. My lower back hurt during yesterday's long run and throughout the day, and the pain was back today, although somewhat less. The pain is left of my spine along the back of my pelvis, which, if I remember correctly, is the area that was injured in a boogie boarding accident in Hawaii in 2004 (my legs got ripped over my head on a nasty break). I had intermittent pain there for a year or two, but it eventually went away. Not sure what could be bringing it back. |
