| Location: Salt Lake City,UT, Member Since: Jan 20, 2007 Gender: Male 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | I've been lazy lately. This was my first run in about a week, and it sure felt like it. My left knee and hamstring were pretty tight. I really need to get back into running shape. GPS output:

| | After yesterday's aborted run (I made it about half a block before I decided my knee wasn't feeling right) I almost didn't go out this morning. But, I managed to drag my lazy butt out of bed and hit the street.
The run felt pretty good. My plan was to run 1500 East to 900 South and turn around. Once I got to 900 South I decided I didn't want to backtrack, so I ran up 900 S for a few blocks, and wandered through the neighborhoods until I hit 1900 East, which I followed all the way out to 2100 South, and then home.
My GPS was dead, so I ran au naturale, no electronics. I did trace out my route using Gmap-Pedometer when I got to work though:

| | I actually did two runs this morning of 1.8 miles each. The first was around 5:45 AM on my way up to the gym, where my personal trainer attempted to kill me. The second run was home after my workout. Even though the run home is all downhill it felt slow and difficult because of the aforementioned attempted murder. I need to get new shoes - I'm starting to feel pain on the inside of my legs around my shins, which causes my stride to get thrown off. Unfortunately, this is my last pair of my beloved Mizuno WaveCreation 7s, so I guess I'll have to find another pair of shoes that work for me.
