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. - 10 on hotel treadmill in 60 mins. Can't remember the intervals, but the last 20 mins were at 10.5 mph and 11.0 (10 mins each).

Loved the SoCal weather and thick air.

A.M. - Similar to yesterday, but took it quite a bit easier. Ended with 10 mins at 10.5 mph.

The real workout of the day is carting my two children around the Disney parks all day. Love them to death, but they both just want to be held all of the time!

Came home today.

A.M. - Got kind of a late start this morning. Had planned on doing 15 or 16 along the normal route. But up on Little Cottonwood Rd at just over 3 miles I ran into Fritz and Josh who were coming down. I ran with them for ~11 miles south on Wasatch and back north on Dimple Dell and down to Highland. It was good for me run with them as it caused me to go faster than I otherwise would have. Hopefully didn't slow them down too much. Another 3+ home. Didn't have my Garmin today, so I'm going to call this one 16.5 and end up with a nice round 60.0 miles for the week. Good run.
