Running Accomplishments:

Not much since high school (in San Diego) when I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile. Have run 7 marathons. 2 of them that I feel I've been in decent shape for (both this year).

Marathons this year:

Salt Lake - 3:36:59 - Coming off ankle injury with minimal training.

Ogden - 3:20:59 - a 7 minute PR.

Deseret News - 2:59:25 - a 21 min PR and BQ.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Drop some more weight (get down to 150), keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free. Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!

Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean.

Looks like you have been hitting the treadmill more lately. Is that due to the weather or just not feeling like going out? 2% incline for 10 miles is a pretty good workout. Do you usually run with it that steep? I always run at 1%, but I've been thinking about going to 1.5.

I've been too lazy to get out in the morning, and usually do my running between 10-12 at night. I try to get out on the weekend and do some running on the trail. 2% doesn't feel very hard for me. I think the trail feels a lot harder than 2%. I've thought about bumping it up higher. Looks like you've been doing awesome with your workouts! Is everything back to 'normal' after the marathon? I've still got my knee issue that is keeping me from wanting to push it too hard.

Sorry to hear the knee is still giving you fits. I seem to be back to normal except the extra weight I've gained. I think I'm going to officially start training for Painter's Half even though I'm not sure I'll be runnning it yet. That should help get me motivated again.
