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. - Longish run. 12 mile route and some. Wife's weekend to work, so I fit in what I could for the time I had. Windy and cold at first, but not terrible.

| A.M. - Honestly can't remember what I ran on this day (terrible, don't get behind on your logging). 7 I think. Is conservative if anything.

| A.M. - Pathetic for a Saturday run. Was real disgusted last night/this morning with the terrible air quality. Wasn't going get the equivalent of smoke'n two packs by going outside. Took things inside. Got a late start and it ended up being a pretty lame run. Gym was busy and the first treadmill pooped-out on me. Couldn't really get things rolling again.

| A.M. - Nice easy effort long run in the snow. 12 and 9 miles back-to-back, less the first mile of the latter. First time I've hit 20 miles in who knows how long.

| A.M. - slightly sleety weather. Noticed last night and this morning that the left hammy is a little tight. It's nothing to get excited about yet; I never have hammy issues. Going to watch this closely though.
Really have liked the Energy Boosts, especially for the colder weather. However, they're about shot at just over 500 miles. Largely due to the way I wear the lateral edges of my shoes, especially the left one. Worth another ~$150 for 500 miles, eh...

| A.M. - 15 on an early, clear, crisp, mostly traffic-free Christmas morning. Luckily, my daughter was up super late Christmas Eve and slept in. So I was home well before she got up. Ran into my father-in-law who was out for a walk around mile 11.
Very good action-packed Christmas day.

| A.M. - Longer run. Same route as last Saturday; 12-mile loop followed by the 9 mile loop (less the first mile).
After a slow start, my base goal for December (i.e. reach the same total mileage as last year) is within reach...Need a total of about 30 miles before the end of Tuesday.

| A.M. - 15-miler, Wasatch Blvd/LC Road triangle in reverse. Bit of an unsettled tummy this morning.

| Got it! Didn't reach 3K but at least matched my mileage from last year (my base goal stated at the beginning of the month). A week ago I knew there was some work to do, but 90 miles later here I am.
Happy New Years! Cheers to great running for everyone in 2014.
