Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006

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

Ran on my own today after seeing no lights on a Jake's house. It was a cold, snowy and slippery but beautiful morning.  I did the old standby around Sugar House Park.  As I was running along 1300 East on the snow-covered grass, I felt a fair amount of pain a little above my left AT, but it was definitely muscular.  Once the terrain leveled out a bit (the surface was quite uneven, especially with the snow), though, the pain went away.  I assume the muscle tightness has something to do with the tendinitis, although I really haven't felt the tendinitis over the past week.  It was a good reminder that I need to keep stretching and doing my exercises even when the AT isn't bothering me.

Did a little family turkey trot in Camarillo before Thanksgiving dinner, then went for an easy 12 after.  Last 6 were into a decent headwind, and my feet blistered a bit in the Free's. I love running at sea level!

Still in SoCal for the Thanksgiving holiday. Planned on going out for an easy 6-7, but the temperature and weather were so perfect that I picked up the pace and went a little further.  What a gorgeous weekend.
