| 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.

| Had a late night with family, so I missed my early run. I got the new Forerunner 610 for Father's Day yesterday, though, and I was dying to try it out, so I brought my gear and ran after work. I parked at Sugarhouse (by the rose garden) and ran around the outer loop but continued on 13th East out to my sometime route up Claybourne, over to Zenith, then winding my way back along 20th East, then down to Highland and around the outer loop of the park. Pace was just slightly brisk for an easy day (7:06), especially because it was warm outside, but the effort was pretty comfortable. AHR was 163 bpm. I love the 610, especially the vibrate feature, which makes it much less likely that I'll miss a split when listening to my iPod. I also love that it looks and feels more like a watch than a brick and that it turns back into one when you stop the timer and leave it idle for 30 seconds or so. My lower back was sore during the run, but it was almost debilitatingly painful after the workout. I had Brooke give me a pretty painful massage in hopes of loosening things up.

| Lower back was still killing me this morning, so I decided to take the day off and try to loosen it up by rolling on my foam roller, Miracle Balls, and pretty much anything else that seemed like it might help. | |

| Intervals at Sugarhouse Park (8 x .25 mi with 1:00 active rest between each). I drove over, then did the outer loop in my Vibrams as a warmup. After a quick detour to the Chevron restroom, I started my workout. Here's how it went: 1: 75 sec (5:00/mi) 163 avg/177 max
2: 75 sec (5:00/mi) 163 avg/177 max
3: 77 sec (5:12/mi) 173 avg/178 max
4: 83 sec (5:34/mi) (finished uphill) 174 avg/181 max
5: 76 sec (5:06/mi) 174 avg/179 max 6: 80 sec (5:20/mi) 174 avg/183 max 7: 80 sec (5:20/mi) 175 avg/183 max 8: 76 sec (5:04/mi) 171 avg/181 max 1-mile cooldown. I was hammered after this one. I'm getting old.

| I hesitate to call these easy miles because I felt a little wasted from start to finish today, but the pace should have been easy. The temperature was already around 70 when I left at 6:00 a.m., so that didn't help. Besides that, I think I was tired from yesterday's repeats. Maja struggled even more than I did, though, and I had to sort of drag her the last two miles. |

Hill sprints at Sugarhouse Park. I ran to the park at a normal easy pace (7:30 or so), then did 8 sprints up the sledding hill, jogging a serpentine route back between each. I started each sprint near the creek on the flat section and finished at the top of the hill. It hurt. My legs seemed to give out before my heart did, because my heart rate only went above 180 once, and that was on the first or second sprint. After that, even though I felt like I was dying near the top of the hill, my heart rate was only hitting 176-77.
I ran home as my cooldown, but I stopped and walked about half a mile at about 6.5 due to GI issues. |

| I took Maja for the first part of the run, which was my U campus-Popperton-Shoreline-Research Park route, then dropped her off at home and traded my shoes for my Vibrams and did the last 4 at Sunnyside on the grass. After yesterday's sprints, my legs were useless on the hills.
