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. - Treadmill run at the Life Centre. Really wanted to meet up with the gang down in Utah County for the long run, but the unhealthy air forecast deterred me. Not sure if the HVAC filters at the gym really provide a healthier air environment inside compared to outside, but in my mind they do. My general rule is to take it inside if its forecast to be a red burn day. 5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, flat 30 mins @ 10.0, progressive inclines with 5 mins each: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 2.5 mins @10.0, flat 7.5 mins @ 10.5, flat 5 mins @ 11.0, flat 5 mins @ 11.5, flat (at 10.2 miles at the 60-minute mark) Cool-down: ~21.5 mins @ 8.0 mph, flat (~2.8 miles) |

| A.M. - Easy treadmill run, all flat: 30 minutes @ 9.0 mph 30 mins @ 9.5 The inversion stinks. Definitely one of the biggest (albeit few) negatives of living along the Wasatch Front. |

100% of my miles this week were on the treadmill. I'm anxious for this haze to clear up and to get outside. I'll be in Dallas for much of this coming week and look forward to hitting up the Katy trail a bunch. |
