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. - 50 minute treadmill run at the gym. All flat:
5 mins @ 9.5 mph,
5 @ 10.0
30 @ 10.5
5 @ 11.0
5 @ 11.5
Felt great, but it was, afterall, a flat treadmill run. I put a strips of tape under the balls of my feet to see if that would help the hot-spot problem I've been getting lately when I wear my pair of Aegis. It didn't really help and I'm thinking its because I didn't have enough tape. I'll try more next time. |

| A.M. - Modified and shortened version of my Cottonwood out-and-back run. I've been working on a busy audit engagement the last couple of days and we're pushing to hit a tight deadline. As a result, I was up way too late last night, slept in, and didn't have time to get in much of a run. I was happy to be able to even go today. Anything is better than nothing, of course. About 45 mins and 7/ave mi. |

| A.M. - 55 minute treadmill run at the Life Centre. Today was supposed to be an outside day and I was looking forward to doing my 12-mile course. However, by the time I got up and was ready to go, it was raining and kind of windy outside and didn't look like it was going to let up any time soon. So I decided to wuss-out and just go down to the gym. 'Was okay with it since yesterday was supposed to be an inside day, but I ended up going out. The gym was particularly warmer than usual, but fortunately I did seem to notice it much during the run. Run went as follows: 5 mins @ 9.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, flat 20 mins all at 10 mph with progressive incline, 3 mins each at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 and then 5 mins at 3.5 back to flat for 5 mins, still 10.0 mph 10 mins @ 10.5, flat 10 mins @ 11.0, flat Cool down, graviton, lunges, stretching. Wanted to stick it out strong for 5 more minutes to make it a round 60 mins, but I didn't have the will power today. Overall, a good run. Felt good. I'm happy that nothing about the body is bothering me right now (knock on wood). I pray that it continues that way. Congrats to those who had great races today down in St. George (Fritz, Holt, Superfly, and other). I'm jealous. Here's to a great year!
