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 Life Centre. I had to travel up to one of my clients, a mining company, near Green River, WY this morning, so I was up a little earlier than usual to get the run in. Went as follows (all flat today):
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph
10 mins @ 10.0 mph
15 mins @ 10.5 mph
15 mins @ 11.0 mph
5 mins @ 11.5 mph
cooldown, gravitron, quick set of lunges, light stretching, drive to Wyoming!
Long day. Lots of driving, but luckily I didn't have to stay the night up there. |

| A.M. - Standard Cottonwood run with a slight variation about 3/4ths through so I could end up with at least 9. Finished in just over an hour 6:48/ave mi. A couple of the last miles on the way down were just under 6-min pace. |

| A.M. - 60 minute treadmill run down at the Life Centre. I just felt like an easy cruise today, so I set her a 9.0 and flat and let 'er go. Just me, my thoughts, and some good tunes on the iPod. |

| A.M. - Same route as Tuesday, but slower. Expected to feel a little better today than I actually did given the easy one I had yesterday. The body had other thoughts, so it was a bit of a slog...Probably due to the sleep factor (I know I need to take the zzz's more seriously and get consistent. It's all over the place right now). Oh well, I'm just grateful for the chance to get out and go. I always enjoy mornings like these and getting out in the cool morning air and running on the lightly snow-dusted roads. |

| A.M. - ~31 minute treadmill run at the Life Centre. Had intended to go an hour, but I woke up later than I should have and thus had a late start. Started with 5 mins at 9.5 mph and flat. Then 5 more at 10.0 and flat. The started progressive inclines; 3 mins each at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0. Intended to go 5 at 3.5, but chickened-out a little more than 2 minutes in, so at about minute 27, I backed it down to 9.5 for 4 minutes and called it a day. Not much will power today. Oh well. I'm just grateful to have been able to run. |

A.M. Standard extended Little Cottonwood run. Essentially the same route as last Saturday, but added an extra mile to get 13. For the extra mile, instead of turning north on Eastdell (2300 S) to come home, I kept heading east all the way to the top of Sego Lily (a nice little hill at the end), then north for a little ways and then down Karalee. I haven't ever went that way before, but I liked it. Didn't push real hard today, but my time and pace were faster than what I typically do this run in. Its a hilly course with lots of turns. Averaged 6:33/mi for the run with a couple of sub 6's and a few other low 6's. Felt good and a good run overall. The last few weeks I've been ending up with right around 50 miles for the week. From my perspective, that's great for me for this time of year and I hope to hold it at that level for a while (time will tell as work ramps up the next couple of months). Over the past couple of years I've probably averaged 30-40 this time of year. Must be the psychological effect of using the blog this year and watching the mileage board. It amazes me that so many of you are putting up such big mileage right now. Perhaps that's been the norm, but I guess I'm just taking notice now. Its inspiring and explains why you are so good. P.M. - Added about a 22 mile road bike ride with friends Scott Tasker and Dayne Hassett. We rode from Scott and Dayne's neighborhood south on 700 E to just past 12300 S. Then up to 1300 E and out to the Draper trail. Then rode to the end of the trail. We then came back pretty much the same way except we stayed not the Draper trail all the way to the turnabout rather than riding 13th. Nice easy ride. It was good to get out on the bike. I love the silky smoothness of my Cervelo. Me and these guys and a couple others are doing the 2 day MS ride toward the end of June. We're going to go for the max of 100 the first day and 70 the second. It'll be fun, but lots to do to get ready before now and then...Running shape doesn't straight-translate to biking shape.
