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. - 52 minutes on the Life Center treadmill, all flat: 5 minutes @ 9.5 mph 10 mins @ 10.0 20 mins @ 10.5 17 mins @ 11.0 Potty break. Rushed for time. Called it a day. I don't know what going on with my bowels lately, but they're not letting me make it through my runs. Not sure if it has something to do that I haven't been traveling the last couple weeks, have a little more control over my diet, and my fiber intake has been a bit higher. Since I've started my new jobs, I've had to start my runs on average ~1/2 hr. to 45 mins earlier than before. Maybe my system is just trying to get used to that? Annoying at any rate. |

| A.M. - Standard 15-mile course plus an extra mile in the neighborhood to make it 16. Did the Wasatch Blvd/Little Cottonwood triangle in reverse. Just under 6:50 average for the run. Felt good. Wore shorts and compression sleeves. Cool but not raining. Wind wasn't an issue where I was. I mentally preparing myself for the butt-whooping I'm going to endure next week in Moab. With any luck I won't catch the terrible cold that my wife and kids have been dealing with the past 2 weeks before Saturday's race. |
