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. - Up pretty early this morning to fit in the run before a 7:30 AM tee time at South Mountain (golf day with one of my clients). Standard Little Cottonwood Rd/Wasatch Dr triangle route, normal direction.
Had a bunch of stuff going on this afternoon including grandma's 80th B-day party. So no afternoon workout today. |

A.M. - 60 mins at the Life Centre. Legs felt a little fatigued (I think from the biking the last couple of days) so the plan was to go relatively easy and play it by ear.
5 minutes @ 9.5, mph, flat
10 mins @ 10.0, flat (feeling good here, bumped up to 10.5)
5 mins@ 10.5, flat (whoa! Legs don't want to go faster than 10.0 today, so I knocked it back down and held)
40 mins @ 10.0, flat
No biking today or tomorrow to rest my legs (and more importantly, my rearend) for the MS this weekend |

A.M. - Wanted to do a long run this morning since I won't be running the next couple of days because of the MS ride. I didn't get started until 6:45 AM at which time is was already 75 degrees. By the time I finished, I think it was in the low 80's. So the run was quite warm. Also had to deal with that pesky southwest wind that has been plaguing the region for so long now. Ran very slow. Felt okay, but just didn't seem to have much spunk. Was happy to get the mileage in though.
Buddies and I are meeting at 5 to head up to Logan for the bike ride. We're staying at Russ's aunt's house. Awful nice of her to offer us her house for the weekend. |
