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. - Millcreek ride (~40 miles). Biking in the canyon in the moring is awesome. Something I don't get to do often when my running routine is going normal.

Once up and down Temple Quarry on the mountain bike. Wish I was running Wasatch Back with my company team today.

A.M. - 90 mile solo ride to the marina at East Canyon Resevoir and back. First time I've done both sides of Big Mountain in the same ride. Via Wasatch Blvd/Emigration. Good ride; 5+ hours and 7.5K of elevation gain. I should have taken more calories along the way, but it ended up being a good depletion ride. The Ragnar caravan was long gone by the time I got to the north end of the lake. I had a Jon Kotter sighting near the base of Emigration.

Anxious to get back to running. It's hard to know how the calf is going to respond once I give it a go. It feels better and better the longer I lay off the running. I've got scout camp this week (22nd-26th). I'm going to try and take my bike and just do that rather than attempt running at camp. I think I'll shoot for a test run next Saturday. Fingers crossed that the calf will be ready by then.
