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.

In ABQ

A.M. - Out-and-back via Central Ave. and the Bosque Del Paseo trail (north). My flight got in late last night. The rest of the team is flying in this morning. So I was able to sleep in a little bit. If there is a silver-lining about being down here its that the morning weather/temps have been nice and cool and great for running. They've been nice in Salt Lake too.

A.M. - Hotel treadmill run, all flat:

5 minutes @ 8.5 mph
5 mins @ 9.0
5 mins @ 9.5
15 mins @ 10.0
15 mins @ 10.5
5 mins @ 11.0

Intended to hold the 11.0 effort for the last 15 mins, but the effort was feeling a bit hard and I didn't have the will power to hang. Overall an okay run for this time of year.

A.M. - Was hoping to go outside for a decent-lengthed run, but ended up sleeping in and the snow was coming down in force. My wife was the smart one. She got up early and got her run in before the snow began falling. I spent about 40 minutes shoveling the thick snow off my driveway and walks and decided that an outside run would just end up being a dodgy slush-fest. So I wussed-out and decided to take it inside.

Pretty good treadmill run at the Life Centre. All flat:

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph,
5 mins @ 10.0,
20 mins @ 10.5,
20 mins @ 11.0,
5 mins @ 11.5,
5 mins @ 10.0

Felt good. I really need to use the PureFlows for my treadmill runs more often. Nice light, plush ride. The low heel drop combined with a decent clip works the calves pretty good.
