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.

| A.M. - Failed attempt at running. Thought things were starting to turn the corner after the last couple days. Made it about 2 mins on the TM, leg felt tight and wasn't having it.
30 mins on the elliptica.

| A.M. - Actually a little bit of a run:
10 minutes @ 8.0, flat
10 mins @ 8.5, 1.0 incline
10 mins @ 8.5, 2.0 incline
10 mins @ 9.0, 2.0 incline

Felt decent during and after the run. Leg made me pay for it Monday morning though.

| P.M. - 45 minutes on the old-school eliptical. Much shorter range of motion on this machine compared to the new ones, but more resistance and probably a better overall workout.

Wasn't sure I would be able to run this morning. Leg didn't feel the greatest when I got up. Spent some time warming up and decided it was good enough to give it a go. Still far from perfect and it can't handle any big efforts. I'm growing quite impatient with this injury. Something is better than nothing.

Leg still not feeling great, but I passed my patience theshold a week or two ago, so I'm going to run so long as the pain isn't too bad. I've had this injury before and it just takes a long time. Going on two months now. The combination of the lower drop shoes, good warm-up and stretching, and really easing into the run at the beginning seems to help.
