St. George Marathon 2009 - 4:59 Short-Term Running Goals: Get my systolic BP under 120 and more energy during the day. Long-Term Running Goals: Run a sub-3 hour marathon during my 20s or early 30s, when I have enough time to train!
Finish an Ironman Triathlon respectably, probably in my 30s. Personal: I am Flatlander's son, 24yo, married, no kids, and I'm in medical school at UT-Houston in the Texas Medical Center. Grew up in NW Houston all my life, served a church mission in Vegas for 2 years, graduated BYU in 2010 with a degree in Biology, and moved back to the Real Promised Land as quick as I could, dragging the wife kicking and screaming with me. |

50F, 82%, 11.5mph. 2.35 in 20:25 for an 8:41 pace. Splits were 8:46, 8:35, 8:49.
It was good to finally get back out after about 2 weeks of not getting to bed on time. Hopefully I can take advantage of these last few months of cooler weather! | | Comments(2) |
| | 59, 100%, 8.1mph. Ran about a half-mile without unpausing my watch after waiting at an intersection, so no good data today. I think it was about an 8:30 pace. In other news, a jackrabbit and I startled each other. That's the first one I've seen in this part of the city. This area doesn't seem like the most ideal habitat for rabbits... | | Add Comment |

57F, 100%, 7mph, 0 jackrabbits. The wind felt stronger than 7mph this morning; it felt like a steady headwind both ways. Again, forgot to unpause my watch after one of the intersections so I don't have a total time or splits, but the pace was about 7:54, so significantly faster than the last one.
I realized about half a mile in that I felt stronger than I normally do pre-6am, so I decided to push it a little bit. The strength started fading before I was even a mile in, so the rest of the run was pretty miserable, but I wanted to get under an 8 min pace. My breathing rate when I finished reminded me of finishing those nasty 400s at high school track meets; sucking air as fast and hard as you can and still not getting enough. | | Comments(1) |
