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. - 15 miles. Normal triangle. Tired legs. Even at very easy pace, this route feels challenging (and long) the morning after a ride. Decided to take this old pair of Aegis to the roads (they've been a long-time TM-only shoe). Felt firmer than expected, probably because they've got a fair amount of mileage.

| A.M. - Three times up and down the 9-mile route, minus a mile or so of the last down section (for the sake of time and getting home). Despite the seeming monotony of the course, I really like this route. Felt pretty good, but needed one pit stop half-way through and my garmin, the wristband part, came apart twice! Stupid thing... Highest mileage week for me this year so far.
A.M.2. - Big Cottonwood-Guardsman Pass ride (~50 miles). First time up to Guardsman this year; definitely one on my favorite rides. Lots of cyclists out taking advantage of the beautiful weather today. Obvioualy didn't have a full charge going into this ride due to the close proximity to this morning's long run, but felt good considering. Had to get the ride in early because the wife and I are heading up to Snowbird this afternoon/evening for a belated anniversary outing.
