| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: Apr 23, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: 800m: 1:53 (1998), 1000m: 2:30 (1999), 1500m: 3:56 (1998), 5k: 16:18 (Magna,1998), 10k 32:55 (unofficial split at hobblecreek, 1998), 1/2 Marathon: 1:12:10 (Hobble Creek, 1998), Marathon: 3:02:42 (St. George, 2008, debut), Bench press: 280 lbs (2006) Short-Term Running Goals: Run St. George under 3:10:59 to obtain Boston Qualifier.
Bring 5K back under 18 minutes.
Current training phase: Base building and weight loss (getting slower to get faster). Long-Term Running Goals: Have fun with my training and races. Maintain athleticism and physical versatility through old age. I'll probably run many marathons, but I won't do pure marathon training year-round because I am probably more interesting in maintaining overall athletic versatility. Personal: My approach to training is feeling and effort based. Particular workouts should feel a certain way and I try to apply the right amount of effort to match that feeling. On the other hand, I'm pretty analytical by nature so I like to analyze and record my workouts in thorough detail. I think optimal training is a balance between the intuitive and analytical.

A.M. 21st East Loop + add-on to surpass 40 minutes.
I felt very light and relaxed this morning and almost recovered. My lower calves are still a little sore. Andrea has worked them out twice which I think has helped.
The streets seemed unusually quiet this morning, maybe because the colder weather scares people from getting out earlier. I like running on quiet streets.
I plan to run with the Black Sheep tomorrow morning.

A.M. I decided to run with the Black Sheep this morning but keep it on the easier side because I'm still recovering from St. George.
Warm-up
2.25 miles continuous cut-down
1600 = 6:41, 1200 = 4:54, 800 = 3:09, 200 jog
I skipped a couple of 400s to avoid unecessary speed work.
800 = 2:54, finish HR = 183
Cool-down
---------------------
A.M. Weight = 178.6
