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. - Ran on the hotel treadmill this morning. I'm staying at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Denver. I'm actually quite impressed with their gym and fitness equipment. Nice, solid Life Fitness treadmills with impressive media functionality. I didn't feel like going real hard today. 45 minute workout went as follows, all flat:
5 minuntes @ 8.0 mph
5 mins @ 9.0
5 mins @ 9.5
30 mins @ 10.0
The run felt good. The treadmill felt a little firmer than the ones at my gym and a bit faster too. My calves, especially the right one, is still tight from Saturday's race, but its not affecting my running and won't be a problem. It was raining pretty hard all morning and into the early afternoon. It's substantially cooler here in Denver compared to Salt Lake. The next few days are looking like they'll be a little warmer though. (7.2 miles; Mizuno Elixir 6)
P.M. - Went and ran on the Cherry Creek Trail this afternoon. Its a nice trail and its not far from my hotel. As the name indicates, the trail runs right along Cherry Creek. Nice, wide, cement-paved path. Lots of bikers and runners. Always grateful when there is a good place to run while traveling. Went nice and easy about 7:15 pace in right around an hour of running. (8.3 miles; Adidas Aegis 2)
I'm really feeling guilty I didn't bike on Saturday when I had the chance. The next time I'll be able to ride will be Thursday afternoon which will be more than a week from when I last went (Weds. 7/4). Not very good consistency for the LOTOJA training...I checked into the possibility of renting a bike while out here, but its expensive and just not practical. Oh well, good excuse to do a little extra running in the afternoons. |

| A.M. - Extended Little Cottonwood Rd/Wasatch Blvd triangle. Normal direction. Just under 7 ave/mi pace. Morning temp was actually more pleasant than I expected. P.M. - 40 mile ride to the top of Millcreek and back. Felt great to be back on the bike again. Met a real cool guy from Highland/Alpine while going up, Joseph Lee. He's pretty new to road cycling like me and is going to doing Lotoja also. |

A.M.1. - Long run. My same bread-and-butter long run course; two times around the extended Little Cottonwood Rd/Wasatach Blvd triangle course. Once doing the triangle in regular direction, once in reverse.
A.M.2. - Boating day with the family up at East Canyon. I rode my bike up to the reservoir which is just under 45 miles (on Wasatch, foothill, up through Emigration Big/Little Mountains). Weather was overcast, not to hot, and the ride was pretty uneventful until the climb up big mountain. At that point it started to drizzle and the wind picked up. Once near the summit, the rain started coming down hard and I was drenched. I had to take the decent down to the reservoir real easy, because the wet brakes weren't working too well and I was nervous about falling on the wet pavement. Made it to the reservoir in one piece just in time for the skies to clear-up temporarily. Met up with my wife and fam and we launched the boat. We took the boat for a few spins around the lake, had a quick lunch, and the dang rain came on hard again before I had a chance to pull out the ski. Pops was nervous, so we pulled out and came home. Not much of a boat trip, but at least we got out. It would have been cool had the rain stayed away. There were only a handful of boats on the lake which is rare for a Saturday.
Would of been an action-packed day had we been able to ski! Oh well, next time. |
