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.

Flew back into ABQ late last night. This is the second to last week that I'll be traveling down here...Yeay!

A.M. - 60 minutes on the hotel treadmill, all flat:

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph,
15 mins @ 10.0
20 mins @ 10.5
15 mins @ 11.0
5 mins @ 11.5

I'm in for a string of very late nights. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can muster-up the courage and energy to get up early enough to fit in my runs. As has been the case for the past while, the goal will just try and be to get them in consistently.

Back in SLC last night.

A.M. - Interesting morning. Slept in later than I should of... Apparently my body isn't liking the average of ~4 hours of sleep a night I've been giving it the last several days... Go figure. I went down to the gym, did my normal warm-up, got on the treadmill, and decided to check my email one more time before starting my music and my run. Had an email that couldn't wait. Drove home, shot off a couple emails, and decided to bag the gym. Went and banged-out my go-to 9-mile run. Just as well. The easier effort outside was what I needed today.

A.M. - Shortened out-and-back. Just was short on time and didn't have the drive to get out early enough to do more miles. No excuses.
