| 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.

Wow, it was chilly this morning! Jake and I headed up to Wasatch for an easy 5, although the "easy" was fairly quick today (I haven't been wearing my Garmin, so I don't know how quick). Everything felt good. I've been doing my toe raises and have been icing the AT at night, and it definitely seems to be feeling better. I skipped my workouts on Friday and Saturday--Brooke and Eli were sick, so I stayed around to help instead of running. I think the extra days off may have also been good for the AT healing process. I'm hoping that after a couple of additional weeks with reduced mileage, I'll be able to start increasing the distance and moving into a solid base-building phase. | |

| I waited for Jake for 10 minutes or so, but it was freezing outside so I left and ran on my own. I hadn't done my old faithful--Sugar House Park loop--for a few months, so I headed south. The ruts in the grass are still there, so it appears that the park hasn't missed me much. I didn't notice any AT issues today. I'm not about to get cocky, though. I'll keep doing my daily exercises and stretches. I felt a little more winded than usual today, and the legs felt kind of heavy. I hope it's not because 6.5 feels long after a more prolonged recovery from SGM than I had hoped for. I'll just chalk it up to "one of those days" for now.

| After a couple of days off due to lack of sleep associated with sick kids and an early-morning music lesson associated with a non-sick kid, Jake and I headed up to Popperton and back for a comfortable jaunt. No AT pain to speak of. The run was far more pleasant and went by faster than my 6.5-mile solo run on Tuesday. As Ebenezer Scrooge says, after his transformative visits with the three spirits, in the Albert Finney version of "Scrooge" my family watches every Thanksgiving evening, "I think I'm going to like [people]!" (He says children.) | |

| Ran with Jake again. Up to Wasatch and south along Shoreline out to Millstream Lane and back. First half had me feeling a little winded, even though pace wasn't very fast. Second half was 20-30 seconds faster per mile, but it felt easy. No AT pain to speak of. I'm hoping to be ready to start increasing my mileage after Thanksgiving. | |
