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 hotel treadmill. Despite the lack of sleep the last few nights, I felt more energized and put in a slightly better effort than Monday. All flat:
5 minutes @ 9.0 mph 5 mins @ 9.5 20 mins @ 10.0 20 mins @ 10.5 5 mins @ 11.0 5 mins @ 11.5
Came home tonight. I'm going to Dallas next week, but happy about the fact that I'm not planning on going back to ABQ for over a month. |

| A.M. - Standard 9-mile out and back. Was slow and a bit of a slog today. Definitely good to be back on my home court though. |

| A.M. - Same run as yesterday. Was in a hurry to be on-time to a CPE seminar at the Salt Palace. Didn't have time to hit the gym as I normally would on a Friday morning. Good run. Felt more peppy than yesterday morning. |

A.M. - Group Long Run - Orem/Provo Canyon. I had the privilege of joining 30+ folks (many from the blog) on a nice and juicy long run through Orem and Provo Canyon this morning. We met at the soccer fields (~1200 N 800 W) and ran north on the Murdock trail through Orem about 5 miles and then came back. After a brief rest, a bunch of us headed out for another five miles up Provo Canyon on the river trail. Right before Bridal Veil Falls, we stopped for a quick break. Toni had stashed some water and Powerade for us (what an awesome fella!!). Jake b-lined it down the canyon at a blazing pace. As did Fritz and Matt. Brandon and Bryce weren't far behind. Me, Scott, and Mike took up the rear at a more conservative pace. I felt great. My average pace was 6:26. What a fun, awesome morning with terrific company! I'm looking forward to more of these. We need more ladies to join us! I'm a dork and can't figure out how to post the picture of the group here. But see my Facebook page or Jake's blog. Anyone think we ought to petition for this to be the new picture on the FRB home page?! :)
