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.

Big goose egg. Hate those...

Second sleepless night this week. This time I just couldn't over come it. Close week has been brutal this go around. Hopefully, it levels out. Got off at a reasonable time this afternoon and could have squeezed in a run, but decided to save it for Saturday's long run.

A.M. - same long run route as last week. Once normal direction, once in reverse. Felt pretty good. No gym/TM runs this week. Running has kind of taken a back seat this week due to a busy work week. Hope to get back on the wagoon next week.

P.M. - Spent the middle of the day boating at East Canyon. Fun, but a little on the cool side. Got home early enough to take the bike out. Millcreek (~40 miles).
