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.

| Gave it a whirl on the treadmill for a couple of minutes. Though I was able to go without any true pain, there was discomfort and it just didn't feel right. I hopped off after just a couple minutes and hit the elliptical for 35. My leg situation seems to be improving (slowly...) with the rest I've given it. I can put my finger on the exact spot where the pain is localized, on the mid-inner part of my left tibia. Definitely the most tender when I'm applying pressure right on it/massaging it. I don't feel any protrusions or strange textures or swelling; just a deep localized tenderness. Not sure if its a bone issue, soft tissue tear, or what. The only thing I know to do is to keep taking it easy until it tells me I'm ready...Just have to be patient. |

A.M. - Decided to give it a go again real easy today. Leg's still not all better yet, and I could feel it running, not painful though. Just took it real slow. I tried one of the new snazzy treadmills at the gym. It looked nice, but they've programed them to limit your time to 25 minutes... lame. Moreover, it wasn't very smooth either. Real loud and slap-sticky. With two minutes to go, I think something broke on the machine because it really started making funny sounds. Needless to say, I'm going to stick with my favorite Life Fitness one. The run went okay, but I'm not ready yet to start building back-up. Salt Lake Half is definitely out. I may see if they'll let me transfer to the bike tour thing because I don't want to just throw my fee away.
Also did 30 mins on the elliptical.
Wanted to go on a ride this afternoon, but the weather wasn't going to let that happen. Linds and I went car shopping. |
