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. - 60 minute progressive incline run on the treadmill:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, 0.5 incline 5 mins @ 10.0, 1.0 20 mins @ 10.0, 1.5 5 mins @ 10.0, 2.0 5 mins @ 10.0, 2.5 (end incline) 2.5 mins @ 10.0 mph, flat 2.5 mins @ 10.5, flat 2.5 mins @ 11.0, flat 2.5 mins @ 11.5, flat

A.M. - Long run. 12 mile route back-to-back (minus almost the first mile of the second loop). Wasatch Blvd/Little Cottonwood Rd. triangle in reverse direction the second time around. Needed a potty stop at about mile 9. 7 min/ave pace.
P.M. - My buddy did a run this morning from Emigration home. He had driven up to Emigration to right before the sharp turn before the last climb up Little Mountain. I agreed to go get his vehicle for him. Rode my bike up Emigration. Up to the car was only 23 miles and I wanted a little more. Decided I'd at least go to the top of Little Mountain. Got there and decided to keep going a bit and at least make it 30. Then I decided what the heck, I'll go all the way up Big Mountain. It was a beautiful afternoon, and a fun ride, but a slow trudge up mountain. Probably more than I should have bitten off for only the second ride of the season. Super fun though glad I did it. Perfect weather for a ride. Lots of folks out on their bikes taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. ~41 miles in all.
Good day. Felt like I did some exercising today. |
