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. - 15 mile route, normal direction. Coolest July morning I can remember.

P.M. - Bonus lunch time bike ride (~21 miles). Did this one with two work friends, Cody and John. We just rode around the industrial parks around our building and did a few laps on the "dump loop." It was good to get out with these guys for a change and practice some drafting.

One of those entries where I mysteriously lost what I was typing...

Spent all day Friday driving to Lake Almanor, CA. Little family vacation with the in-laws. It's beautiful here. Huge trees, mountain atmosphere, although elevation is about the same as SLC.

A.M. - 12 mile out and back. 6 miles out toward Westwood (pretty much all up), then back. Progressively faster miles, but too slow to be considered anything other than a recovery run.

A.M. - Brought the Cervelo, so got in a nice 70 mile ride consisting of a double circum-navigation of the lake and some meandering around the pennisula.

Spent part of the PM with the whole family touring Westwood; my father in-law's home town. Seems like a pretty depressed little town now, but the place was apparently booming back in the day when Paul Bunyan was swashbuckle'n around the lumber yards.
