Goal Type:

Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

My personal best marathon was my first marathon. I ran the St. George Marathon in 2005, and finished in 3:14. I was hurting at the end, and had to walk too much between miles 22 and 26, but I finished. I had hoped to drop that time in 2006 and qualify for Boston, but hamstring pain and other distractions took their toll and I ended up finishing in 3:25.

Personal Bests:

  • Marathon: 3:14:53 (St. George, 2005)
  • Half Marathon: 1:31:02 (Hobble Creek, 2006)
  • 5K: 19:50 (Murray Fun Days, 2006)
  • 50K: 5:16 (Goblin Valley Ultra, 2006)
I don't know my PB for a 10K, but I've run a 10K in around 38:59, which may or may not be a PB. (I don't really like the 10K distance - too long to be a sprint, and too short to be an endurance run).

Short-Term Running Goals:

Get back into shape.

Long-Term Running Goals:

The Wasatch 100 in under 22 hours. Hell, ANY finish at the Wasatch 100 would be great.

Just an easyish run around the neighborhood to see how I felt after last Saturday's 50K. Turns out I feel pretty good - I even pushed the pace a little. (I didn't take my GPS though, so I don't know my splits, or even my total time). My left knee is feeling fine, but right knee is a little achy. Probably because I favored my left so much on Saturday.

Bookend runs around my cross training at the gym. I took a different route to the gym that ended up being about 3.1 miles, and ran the normal 1.8 miles home.

I'm feeling a little tenderness along the inside of my right shin. It hurts when I press on it (or when my dog decides to sit on it. A 62 pound dog that thinks he's a lap dog...sheesh), but it generally feels fine when I'm walking and running. I figure this is just residual soreness from my giant run last Saturday, but maybe it's time for new shoes.
