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:

...if we are to have faith like Enoch and Elijah we must believe what they believed, know what they knew, and live as they lived.

12 total. Did a mile time trial with Bella and Leigha at Orem High. Bella started too fast with 45 seconds for the first 209 meters, and then paid for it finishing in 7:18. Then she rested while Leigha ran a PR of 8:53.9. Bella tried again, this time I told her to follow my pacing, but she was too tired and ran 7:20.

12 total. Did 2x2 down, 12:05, 11:51. This was rather unintended. It was supposed to be just a 3 mile interval. On the first one William made it to 1 mile, Matthew to 1.25 or 1 - do not remember, Bonnie to 1.5. Then I started losing it, and figured something was wrong, so I decided to stop at 2 and re-evaluate. After some jogging and thinking, I decided to try at least a quick mile. I focused, and was able to run 2 instead.

Jacob did a mile time trial, I gave him a target of 66 start, he started in 68, and then completely fell apart and ran 5:10.

He did 0.75 in 3:40 (with Joseph), then 0.25 in 79 (also with Joseph), then a few 0.5 in 2:33 or so.

Matthew ran the first two miles with me, do not remember what Bonnie or William did. We did 6:00 to failure or to 3 miles.

The fourth one was after a long rest. Towards the end he recovered his turnover and was able to run more normally. Joseph ran with me, if I remember right.

Almost 16 total. Paced Julia through 1 mile in 6:59 on the track. Then ran a 3 mile tempo down the canyon in 17:45. I believe Bonnie and Matthew made it to 2 miles with me. Jacob did 4x1 mile down, if I remember right, 4:59, 5:02, 5:05, 5:02.

Benjamin raced a 10K in 34:48. His GPS showed the course to be short. The course was hilly and he won by 3 minutes, got $50, first prize money in a while. Maddy got lost, ended up 9:30 average for the distance that was closer to 4 miles.

12 total. William did a mile time trial. Jacob paced him for the whole thing, Bonnie provided motivation in the last 800 meters. I ran around the field and yelled splits. He ended up running a PR of 5:23.7 with fairly even splits. That is an important step for him as he had been struggling lately.

12 total. Did a 3 mile tempo in 17:49. Do not remember how far Matthew and Bonnie went, I think they both made it to 2. Jacob did 1 mile with Benjamin in 5:01, then rested and did another in 5:05 if I remember right. Benjamin did 3 in 14:55.

Then we paced Maddy in a time trial. She ran 1 mile on the track in 7:58.5. Interestingly enough, Benjamin ran almost this same time when he was 5.
