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.

| Dang near goose-egged it today....I was up working until 4:30 AM last night, yes 4:30, and it was probably after 5 by the time I fell asleep. Needless to say, getting up a little after 6 to run wasn't happening, especially since the previous night was after 2. Lately the routine has been work at the client until ~7:30, head back to the hotel, and meet up in the atrium and work until 1 or 2 in the morning. Then get up and do it all over again. That's what my Monday's through Thursday's have been lately. Not going to lie, I feel like crap and probably look like it too. Thankfully, this silliness is almost over... Up to this point I've been able to drag myself out the door about 6:30 for a 10-mile slog. But this morning I succumbed. Fortunately, my senior manager decided we were heading back to the hotel at about 6:30 to work in the atrium for the evening. I had just enough time to fit in a shorty on the hotel treadmill: P.M. - 35+ minutes, all flat: 10 minutes @ 9.0 mph 10 mins @ 9.5 15+ mins @ 10.0 Felt great to get the run in. |

| A.M. - 2 AM night again last night. Was almost 7:30 when I dragged myself out of bed...Busy season is breaking me. Decided I had time for another short one: 35 mins on the treadmill, all flat: 5 minutes @ 8.5 mph 5 mins @ 9.0 5 mins @ 9.5 15 mins @ 10.0 5 mins @ 10.5 Flew home tonight... Finally done with my last trip to Albuquerque! Hallelujah! And my entire Deloitte (and public accounting) experience comes to end in a couple days after 7 1/2 years. I have a lot of mixed emotions, but it's time. I'm stoked. On the plane ride, I was reading the editor's letter in the March Runner's World called "A 21-Minute Fix." It made me think of myself and my experience yesterday. What most impressed me was what he said at the end: "Running can be anything you need it to be, big or small. It can help you beat addiction or disease. It can help you burn off five or 10 or 50 pounds and change your life. Or in the time it takes to watch a few YouTube clips, it can clear the cobwebs in your head, give you a shot of endorphins, and salvage a forgettable day." - David Willey, Editor-In-Chief, Runner's World Magazine |
