Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.

Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)

Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).  

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.

Long-Term Running Goals:

2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.

Personal:

I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew,  Mary,  Bella.  and Leigha. We home school our children.

I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Took Stephen and Bonnie to the track today to do an 800 race. Thought this would get Stephen motivated, but it was windy and he was in a bad mood. So they both went through the first lap in 91, then both slowed down into a headwind to 49. Then Stephen freaked out and DNFed, and Bonnie kicked in 44 and got 3:04.4 - good time.

I did the rest of the runs with the kids, and also added a 2 mile tempo later in the evening on the ward 2 miler course in 11:43. It was quite windy.

Kids did track time trials today and got some PRs. Stephen redeemed himself from his yesterday's fiasco and ran 3:03.0 in the 800 - new PR by 4 seconds. Splits 44,46,49,44. Then for some extra vengeance he ran 200 in 39.1 - new PR. William chased the Orem High team while they were doing a longer workout and was rewarded with a new PR in the 400 - 74.9 (16 high, 18, 19, 21). Matthew had some mood issues in the 800 but then later in the afternoon insisted on breaking a record. So I took him to the track and he ran 400 in 1:38.4 (22, 25, 26, 25). Joseph, Jacob, and I did a tempo run on the ward 2 miler course in 12:07 - I think we split it 6:17, 5:50. Then I ran 6 more with Jenny.

Total of 16. Did 2x2 down the canyon, first in 11:32, second in 10:55. The first was with Joseph and Jacob. We went through the first mile in 5:43, then Joseph was struggling, so we slowed it down to 5:49. On the second one, the boys did 1 mile each. First Jacob pulled me through the first 0.5, then he started struggling, so I took over, and he pulled me again for 200 meters at the end of his mile - we ended up with 5:29. On the second mile, Joseph joined me, but he stayed behind me all the way until 200 meters to go - then he pulled even with me and that helped me go faster at the end. We ran it in 5:26. I was happy that I went under 11:00, got the fastest time of the year, and never had quarters slower than 83.

Jacob ended up with 9+ miles because we had to go back further in between the tempos to find his jacket, Joseph 8, Jenny 8, Julia 6, William and Stephen 5 - Stephen ran 5 for the first time in his life. Matthew 1, Mary 0.25.

Time trials today on the track. Julia ran 400 in 78.6 - new PR. Splits 18, 20, 20, 20. This is encouraging as it gets her closer to sub-6:00 mile, which is her driving learner's permit standard. Stephen raced her and ran 83.3 splitting 41,42, which was a small PR by 0.1. Then he said he wanted to try again. The first 100 was 21 and I thought it would not go well. However, then he sped up and ran 20 hitting 41 for the 200, and made it to 300 in 62 (21). Then he kicked on the homestretch and managed 82.6 - a new PR. Stephen is full of surprises.

Joseph and Jacob helped pace Stephen in the first one, William and I paced Julia. On the second one, I ran alone with Stephen.

Then all of us except Julia paced Matthew in a 200 time trial. Part of the challenge was to explain to him that he is supposed to sprint all the way. Joseph told him it was a drag race, and it worked. He ran 44.3 (21,23).

Did time trials with the kids on the track, then did 2 miles down the canyon with Chad. Total of 21 miles.

First we ran 2000 with Joseph and Jacob. The plan was to run the first 1000 in 3:20, and then hold on to the best pace. On paper it sounded simple - Joseph and Jacob hit a 1600 split of about 5:12-5:14 in the mile, so in theory we should be able to get to as far as 1600 in 5:20 and have something left for one more lap. In practice we ran into some glitches. First, 3:20 pace proved a bit hot for Chad and myself - I paced the first lap in 79 high, then Chad ran 82, and when I took over I could not shift gears to speed up, so we had 3:22 at 1000. Another problem was that Jacob's back was hurting and he dropped back after the first lap. And on top of that Joseph was just not on top of the game. He took over somewhere around 1000, and accelerated enough to make me hurt, but did not maintain and started fading pretty fast. So we had 4:03 (82) for the third lap, and then I stayed back with Joseph and we ran 86, 88 finishing in 6:57.1. Chad went ahead and finished in 6:52.

Then Chad and I paced William through an 800 time trial. He got a small PR of 2:49.3 (38,42,44,45). We also paced Julia through an 800 in 2:56.4 (83,93). Clearly both need to work on the second lap.

Then Chad and I went to the canyon and did 2 miles down. Both of us got the fastest times of the year - I got 10:48.4, and Chad had 10:50.0. We traded leads in the first mile (5:24). Then I got tired, and just drafted. But then Chad started to lose steam, so I took over in the last quarter and pulled a way a bit.

Jacob ran 2000 PR of 6:54.3. William ran 800 in 2:47.4 - a PR as well. Joseph was struggling today - I could tell from the start, so I just told him to pace us in the first and last lap so he would get some kind of a workout, and then help pace William's 800.

Otherwise, usual Saturday runs.

Did time trials on the track (William did 2x500 1:40.6, 1:40.5 with full rest). Steve Ashbaker joined us. Stephen tried to get an 800 PR, but missed it by 0.1 running 3:03.1 (90, 93).

Joseph, Jacob, and I raced each other in the 400. It was windy, so we ran slower - except for Jacob who repeated his PR. The times were 66.8 for me, 67.2 for Joseph, and 67.8 for Jacob.

Raced Joseph and Jacob in the 200. Jacob and I got 30.7 - PR for him, fastest time of the year for me. Joseph was not having a good day. After he saw he was getting beat by Jacob in the 200 he turned off the engine, and did not even bother timing himself. I tried to get him to do it again, but he could not run faster than 33.0 and in one attempt was as slow as 37.9. So I ended up doing 5x200 workout.

Other kids just ran easy today - their usual distances.

I did an impromptu mini-tempo while running with Jenny. I took off when we were 1.7 into the run, she turned around at 2 taking a break to stretch, I just kept running a little under 6:00 until I caught her - which ended up being around 2.7 of tempo.
