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. - Extended Cottonwood route. From my house up through the neighborhoods and on to Little Cottonwood Road (south side) up to the park-and-ride at the mouth of the canyon. Then down the north side to Wasatch Blvd and back past La Caille up to 9400 S. Then winding down through the neighborhoods to as far west as Roseboro and then up the hill back home. This is one of my favorite routes to do in the warmer months. Today was cold (~20's), but pleasant. It's a bummer that our state isn't getting much snow yet, but I do not miss the icy roads. The Garmin died about mile 9, so not sure what my overall time ended up being, probably 1:25. Felt good. |

A.M. - Same route that I did Tuesday. My wife likes taking the early workout shift on Saturdays including some elliptical machine at home and then down to the gym. So I slept in and didn't get out until late morning. Cool weather, sunshine, nice morning. Relatively slow relaxed run. Ran without the Garmin today. One of these weekends I'll need to work it out with her to where I can make it to Jake and Andrea's group run. Sounds like there were a lot of folks there today. I'm excited to watch the trials today....Go Paul! |
