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

Easy effort with Maja on U campus.  My quads were screaming at me for the first couple of miles after Saturday's long run (which was promptly followed by a 5-hour drive to Idaho) and I felt lousy until about 3.5.  Fortunately, the last 1.5 felt back to normal.  I have Youth Conference tomorrow through Thursday, so that should be interesting.  Good thing this is a step-back week on my mileage.

Missed my run because I was up late getting ready for Youth Conference and had to be ready to go by 7.

In the mountains between Vernal and Flaming Gorge for Youth Conference.  I ran with Jake and Alli Thompson to the top of the nearest peak.  We climbed from 8800 to 10200 over 4.5 miles.  Spectacular views, lung-searing climbs.  What a way to start the day!

Still in the mountains.  I hesitate to call the effort easy, because it was at nearly 9000 feet and involved some fairly sturdy climbing at a pretty strong pace, but it wasn't exactly race pace.  I must not have paid enough attention on the way out, because I thought the route was nearly flat.  I learned otherwise in a very painful way almost the entire distance back.

Missed my run again because I had to be in the office by 6 a.m. to start making up for lost time while I was at Youth Conference.

Slept in a bit and got punished for my sloth by the heat.  I took Maja for the first 8 miles and dropped her off, then finished the last 4 without her.  Other than 3 potty stops in the first 3 miles (a new record--fortunately I came prepared with a sufficient number of doggie bags), she held up pretty well.
