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 minutes on the gym TM, all flat:

5 minutes @ 9.5
5 mins @ 10.0
20 mins @ 10.5
20 mins @ 11.0
10 mins @ 11.5

Felt surprisingly smooth. Maybe, just maybe, the cycling might be starting to have a little effect on the cardio.

P.M. - Big Cottonwood ride to Brighton and back. Wet, windy, cold character-building ride...You need a few of those every year. The valley was gloomy and I thought to myself that I would regret venturing up into the canyon, but of course I continued on. The ran got progressively heavier the further up I went. The first few miles coming down were really cold until the numbness settled in. I know that I sound like I'm complaining... It was good to get the ride in. Between the weather forecast and my wife's tricky work schedule, not sure if/when I'll be able to get the bike out the rest of this week.

A.M. - Triangle in reverse. Easy pace. June weather has been awesome this year.

P.M. - Millcreek ride (~40 miles). Observations: (1) the new paved/slurried (whatever) section of Wasatch Blvd s*cks; (2) a lot of motorists s*ck too; (3) looks like an angry Sasquatch was hanging out in Millcreek and thrashed down a ton of aspens all over the road... Good ride tonight.

A.M. - Double 12 mile routes, both time running the triangle in reverse.

P.M. - This was my wife's weekend to work and I had the kids. Didn't have a ton of time by the time she got home, but was able to squeeze in a BC Brighton ride (~40 miles).
