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. - Double 12-mile routes, one normal triangle, one reverse. Warm and breezy.

P.M. - ~41-mile ride up Big Cottonwood to Brighton and a little more. Kind of a poorer-effort ride. Had intended to go up the top of Guardsman (~50 mile ride round trip), but the heat was getting to me and my water bottles were extra low when I started the ascent toward Guardsman (after looping around Brighton). Just decided I was done and wanted to go home. Still a good ride, but a little bummed I didn't go all the way. Maybe for the better though. It was hot and I'm sure I was on the dehydrated side.
