2014 TENTATIVE RACING SCHEDULE:
TBD

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run 6-days a week and maintain a decent base level of fitness. Upwards of 50-60 per week would be great. Adjust to my new work position, use time wisely, and keep negative stress at bay. Hopefully make a good run at Ogden this spring.

Balance family, work, running, and the other important things in my life.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy running and continue doing it consistently. Stay healthy and avoid injury as much as possible. Have fun!

Continue chasing PRs while I still can, particularly in the marathon and half marathon. Explore new races, improve training, build friendships, and learn from the wisdom and experience of the numerous great runners here in Utah. Run well into my old age.

 

Personal:

I live in Sandy, UT with my wife (Lindsay) and 2 kids. I love running the roads through my neighborhood and near Little Cottonwood Canyon. I also do a fair amount of treadmill running at the Life Centre Athletic Club. Aside from running, I love road and moutain cycling.

Slept in and skipped the morning run.

P.M. - Lunchtime industrial park run. 9-mile work loop. Toward the end of the run as I was heading south on 5600 W., I almost got stopped by a slooooow-moving train. I started running in the opposite direction on the dirt area parallel to the tracks. Once I reached the end of it, I crossed the tracks and beat it back to 5600 W. I feel bad for the motorists who got stopped. They had to wait quite a while.

Had a heck of a time trying to fall asleep last night and consequently slept in later than I wanted to. Went and did my 15-mile loop + one starting around noon. Windy. Easy pace.
