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.

Getting pretty close now to my yearly mileage totals for each of the last two years. Looking like I will finally hit 3K this year. Putting it out there that my mini-goal is to try and reach 3,200 by the end of the year. The number doesn't necessarily mean anything, just to motivate me a little more than what I otherwise would be.

P.M. - up too late last night, so did this one in the evening. Nice night out. Man, I've been terribly boring and low keys with my runs lately.... Winter hibernation mode. Just happy to be running and injury-free (knock-on-wood).

Missed my morning run again... Combination of the 'hang-over' from the near all-nighter on Thursday (no, I don't drink, just work stuff) and I had an early morning get-together/breakfast with some old friends that precluded the prospects of a later morning run.

After a day of car maintenance and Christmas shopping, I finally got out the door after 7 PM. Nice run.

That's 4 PM runs the past two weeks. I really don't want to make a habit of doing them in lieu of morning runs, but sometimes circumstances necessitate.

A.M. - Slept in later than I should have and only had time for 9 before I had to be home (had to get home for the kiddos because the wife had to work). Hoka

P.M. - 9 more in the afternoon. Did it just for the miles. Gotta get that 3.2K for the year :)

Sick

A.M. - Woke up feeling like garbage. Felt it coming on late last night and knew I was going down. The crap has been cycling through my family. High time I caught it, I guess.

Survived a slow 9 miles out in the snow. Not sure if it was a good idea to even go or not.

Sick.

Throat is on fire. Couldn't drag my behind out of bed for a morning run. Didn't have the desire/drive to make anything happen this afternoon either.

So much for the 3.2K year. Going to fall a little short. Oh well.
