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. - Slow easy 9-miler. This must have been the coldest morning we've had so far. I do love bundling up and going out and running in it though. |

| A.M. - Same run as yesterday....Yeah, I know, I'm boring. Total time was within 5 seconds of yesterday too. Cold again this morning. I wore an extra layer and was cozy. |

A.M. - Bosque del Paseo run down in Albuquerque. The weather said 25 degrees when I started and it was definitely cold, but not that cold. I woke up this morning with that feeling that you know you're getting sick. Throat a little sore, achy, a little headache. Started the run real slow and kept it that way the whole run. Was feeling pretty good by half way into it and was glad that I didn't succomb to sleeping in. The trail portion (the paved Bosque del Paseo trail) of the run is awesome. But the 2 miles on the Central Avenue going out and coming back kind of sticks.The road is pretty busy, so you're forced to run mostly on the sidewalk. But because of all the driveways you're constantly running on an uneven surface. By the last 0.1 of my run, my right knee decided it had enough of the undulations and it really started to hurt. Luckily it was right at the end of the run and was able to stop. It's been a little sore today. I hope its nothing serious, I don't think it is. I've got a compression sleeve on it right now. I'm planning on running in the morning, but we'll see how it feels....and see how my cold progresses. No sense pushing anything right now. I wore the PureFlows today which have a ~4mm drop. I'll swing to the other end of the spectrum tomorrow and wear my Precisions which have huge heel (~13mm drop); see if that helps anything. |

| A.M. - Sick...Yikes! Woke up with a huge sore throat. Achy, not fun. I'm sure it'll get worse before it gets better. Oh well, with my kids both being sick and some co-workers too, and all the traveling, it was bound to happen. I've actually been fortunate to have not been sick for quite some time. It'll just have to run its course. Made it down to the Life Centre and only had it in me to do a short easy run. All flat: 20 minutes @ 8.0 mph, 10 mins @ 8.5 10 mins @ 9.0 Just running today at all was a victory. Knee felt fine, but I'm wearing the sleeve again for a little compression therapy. |

| A.M. - Standard 15-miler route. Notwithstanding my cold, the run was decent. It was good to get out and get some miles. Temps were nice and I wore shorts. The 2-mile jaunt up Sego Lily felt tough. |
