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. - 35 minutes on the eliptical. Made an attempt at one of the weird stairstepper machines first, but the dang thing kept bottoming out for no reason. So quickly put an end to that routine and got on the eliptical.

| P.M. - After a super late night preparing for our close meeting, I didn't get up with enough time to excercise in the morning. Hit the gym for a quick one after work; 30 minutes on the stepmill machine.... Have'n me a super chill week this week in terms of exercise.

| A.M. - 5 easy miles outside. About 1.5 into it, I ran into this dude, Carl. A nicer older dude who is still throwing down marathons. He was going the opposite direction and stopped me to chat awhile; about the SGM (which he also ran), his son who I worked with briefly at Deloitte, etc. After 10-15 mins I finally got going again. Another other time of the year I'd be peeved to have my run interrupted. But I could care less this week :) Had just enough time to squeeze in 5. Good enough.
