Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.

Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)

Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).  

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.

Long-Term Running Goals:

2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.

Personal:

I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew,  Mary,  Bella.  and Leigha. We home school our children.

I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Favorite Quote:

13+ total. Paced Bella in a workout. It was supposed to be 600+200 at her target 800 pace of 96 per lap. Mary was supposed to do it as well, but she kept falling behind. I told them to follow my pacing in the first lap and then kick if they still had energy. On the first one, Bella followed my pacing for the first lap in 96, but then had only 52 for the last 200 and finished in 2:28. Mary fell behind shortly before the end of the first lap and just jogged. So I gave them another 600 meter interval. However, it was a disaster. Bella was falling behind and I stopped her at 200 in 49. Mary did not even try.

I gave them a motivational talk to follow up on the family home evening lesson this week - learn to do hard things without letting yourself feel miserable. It seemed to do some good. Bella ran 94 for the first lap - I paced it just a bit faster on accident and also I could tell Bella was doing fine and did not need it to be slower, she slumped a bit in the last 200 out of habit (50), but it was a lot better than her earlier interval. Mary was able to do the first lap in 94, which was her assignment.

Jacob was trying to do 3x1000 in 2:55 evenly paced. On the first one he did 2:58 splitting 69,71,38. And then he started getting panic attacks. He tried to start the interval 3 times all ending in a failure with 35,38! His assignment was to restart the interval if he was not holding the pace. Then I told him to just run 400 as fast as he could, and it went well - he did 31,34 - 65, except he pulled a hip flexor tendon and could barely walk afterwards.

I then went for some more distance, and ran into Jared Ward on the trail. We ran a few miles together.

In Missoula, MT for the USATF regionals. Another challenging day, but got 8 miles in. Was up in the middle of the night to handle an urgent issue. Realizing that I also had 564 miles of driving ahead of me I decided to cut the run to 8 miles. That was a sweet spot between getting some running in, and being sufficiently awake to drive quickly and safely.

Will write about the kids races later. They went somewhat better than I expected.

12 total. Decided to try 6:00 pace for the first time in a couple of weeks. Made it to the mile with Benjamin and Matthew. The hamstring started to tighten up. Matthew, paced by Benjamin, did 11:55 for 2 miles.

Benjamin did a 5 mile tempo, if I remember right in 26:58. This was his fastest time for that workout on that course this year. Then he also did a 2 mile bonus with Matthew.

Busy day, but was able to get 12 in even with a fast 1.25 in 7:27. This was unevenly paced, though. The first three quarters I did in 87 each, then I ran 91, 94. Part of it I think being out of shape for this kind of start, part tight hamstring.

Jacob paced Matthew to a course PR for 2 miles down the canyon in 11:23 (5:35, 5:48). Then he ran another interval in 10:51. Benjamin did 5 in 26:53.

Leigha ran a mile PR of 8:31 - 2:07, 2:18, 2:09, 1:57. She got psyched out in the second quarter thinking she could not breathe, then I told her she would get $15 if she got the record, and she was motivated enough to calm herself down and find her rhythm again.
