 Major 2010 Races:

 Logan Peak Trail Race (28 mi., 7260 vertical feet): 4:23:48, 2nd place

 Top of Utah Marathon:  2:38:15, 6th place

 Provo Halloween Half Marathon: 1:10:38, 5th place

 

Obviously, 2010 was much more consistent than 2009, and consequently I improved a lot.  I would like to continue to improve my consistency in 2011.  I am starting this year out near the 70 mpw mark, as opposed to basically zero last year, so that should help things a lot, but additionally I want to have fewer weeks where I totally just drop the ball.  Last year I had a few 30-40 mile weeks where I didn't really need them.  I think this year I am in shape enough to where I should hit at least 60 miles just about every week without worrying about injury, unless I'm recovering from a major race or something.  I also want to significantly increase the amount of high mileage training over 80 mpw and even hit 100 sometime this summer.  We'll see how it goes.

Looks like a great year- I can't believe how few of miles you ran in 2009. Any idea what races you'll do this year? Having the 70 mpw already will sure help.

Thanks, Allie.

Jon- yeah, 2009 wasn't my best year for sure. haha. As for this year, Logan Peak is definitely on the list again, and Cody wants me to do El Vaquero Loco with him I think. St. George is looking attractive again for the fall. Other than that nothing definite. Maybe a spring marathon somewhere if I can find a good one. I don't particularly want to run SLC, and I didn't sign up for Ogden in time. :P

Utah Valley, Boise, or Tri-state marathons are open.
