| 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 weather was so great that I decided to take Eli out in the jogger on my lunch hour instead of going out early. I was in shorts and short sleeves and Eli just had a sweater on. We headed out to Sugar House Park and had a great time together. Maja (the dog) was clearly not pleased when I took Eli and left her at home, but I can only deal with so much extra company to which I'm attached when I run. |

| Sloppy but enjoyable jaunt across U campus up to the fire station on 11th Ave and back. Maja was a pretty good sport about splashing around in the slush. Pace was pretty slow, mostly because I was worried about slipping. It felt relaxing and comfortable from start to finish. |

Missed the early run, so I tried running on the treadmill after putting the kids to bed. We had installed a flat-screen at eye level in front of the treadmill, so I thought I might possibly be able to stomach 6 or 7 without going crazy. Unfortunately, the treadmill thinks I'm too fat or something, because it would shut down after about 1/2 mile (the power switch would get tripped). In the end, I got too frustrated to keep powering the thing back up every 3 minutes or so, and I called it a night.
I've blown the circuit breaker before while running on the treadmill, usually when I dip into the sub-7 pace range, but this is a new problem. The thing desperately needs to be serviced, but I'm not sure I'm up for dumping a few hundred bucks into it at the moment (after fixing my daughter's viola, my son's saxophone, my car, my wife's car (new tires and alignment--don't ask), our furnace, replacing a toilet, and having a plumber clean out the drum trap for our shower, all in the past 6 weeks). It works fine for my wife, who uses it every day, so I'll just buck up and run outside.

| Took my stuff to work and did the City Creek run as soon as I could break free. I was in a hurry to get home, so I stepped up the pace a bit in both directions, but especially on the way down. No Garmin, but my guess is that my last 3 were roughly 6:20, 5:50, and 5:20. |

After today's run, I need a new category for "Miles that should have felt easy but did not." I went out with Brooke and we kept an easy pace to 3.5 (up to Wasatch and south until we hit the first Parley's Crossing bridge). Brooke took Maja and turned around at that point and I continued on to my usual turnaround point near Millstream Lane. It kind of felt miserable the whole way back, obviously due to the fact that I had run hard just over 12 hours earlier and am not in great shape yet. In fact, the last 5 miles felt a lot like the 3rd Wasatch Back leg always feels. Oh, well, at least I managed to get some miles in! |
