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

Although I knew it was a red air quality day, I decided to head out anyway, since I didn't want to let myself take a day off after just starting to reestablish the habit of consistent early morning workouts.  By the end, every time I coughed I was sure it was due to the high particulate count and that I was taking a few weeks off my life.  Jake is out of school for the holidays and decided to enjoy himself today and not join me at 5:30.  (If I were him, I wouldn't even consider running at 5:30 at any time during the break!)  I read his text before leaving, so I brought along Ira Glass and some This American Life to keep me company.  I kept the pace very easy, but the miles clipped by quickly, thanks to the electronic companionship.

The air was still disgusting this morning, so I chose not to run.  Just like Jerry.

Missed my early run after being out late last night with some friends from out of town, then finding out that Brooke would be running at 7.  Fortunately, things have calmed down at work and I was able to go home midday and run with Maja.  We ran up Emigration to Ruth's and back for an easy 6.  The snow was coming down fairly hard, making it a little hard to see, particularly on the way back, but the temperature was comfortable and there wasn't too much traffic in the middle of the day.  Too bad I can't take a couple of hours out of the middle of every day to do this!
