| 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.

| The kids have been sick, so I haven't been good about getting out the past two mornings. I brought my stuff to work in hopes of running at lunch, but I ended up downtown at the firm for a couple of hours and went to lunch with one of the partners. However, things slowed down at the office this afternoon, so I took off for a little jaunt around Holladay. Maybe it's the short distances, the easy pace, the good weather, or something else, but I'm loving these Nike Free's lately. I felt the AT a little (very little) in the early going, but it felt good the rest of the time. I did my ecentrics this morning and have stretched a couple of times today. | |

| For the first time in at least a couple of years, I ran with a partner today: Jake Thompson (new to FRB under http://jaket.fastrunningblog.com/). We took it easy and it was great to have some good company. Jake's trying to talk me into running shorter races to increase my turnover as part of my training to go sub-2:30. The problem is that fast for him is like warp speed for an old guy like me. However, I think he's got the right idea. It might take some time to persuade me to actually set my pride aside and run a few races where I'm lucky to finish in the top 100, but running with Jake might--might--help bring me around. We're going to try to run together regularly, at least through the winter. He's looking at running some collegiate races unattached (he ran for Weber pre-mission), so our training paths will necessarily diverge at some point, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to break out of my anti-social running shell for a while. | |

Jake and I headed up through Research Park and through the med school campus, then down and back past the Library to Guardsman and home. I thought it was going to be freezing, so I had my tights on but ended up running in a tee without gloves or a hat. Probably the last warm morning for a while, though.
AT was bugging me a little last night, so I spent a little time stretching and massaging it, and it felt pretty good this morning. Jake is now trying to convince me to add in some ab work at the end of our runs, which would be great for me--I have been terribly inconsistent over the years in doing any kind of work on my core.
Janey had kind of a rough night, so I probably would have scrapped my run had it not been for Jake. I think this arrangement is going to be good for me. | |
