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. - Standard 9-miler. Had good intentions of getting up a little earlier and doing my 12 mile course, but my bed won the battle this morning. Pleasant slow, slow run in the light falling snow.

Super glad our FRB friends in Boston are safe given yesterday's craziness.

Tomorrow will be interesting. I'm not expecting anything spectacular, but hopefully a little improvement over last month's run down in Moab. It will be fun. Probably pretty darn cold!

I made a dumb mistake by staying up way too late last night working on a project that could have (and should have) waited until the morning. So I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I feel okay now, but hopefully I don't pay for it tomorrow morning.

SALT LAKE HALF MARATHON 2013

Was a slacker and never did this report. Maybe I circle back later. Kind of a rough race for me especially with the rain and wind. I'll probably never do another race in the Nike Free's again.
