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. - <30-minute treadmill run. I was anxious to see how the glute was going to feel running this morning after not running since Friday. Got to bed a little late last night and had to get to work for an early morning, so I caused myself to be pressed for time. The glute wasn't feeling that great. I kept things pretty slow and just wasn't into it. Had to stop before I even hit 30 minutes to rush off to work. Pretty frustrated. This is the time of year you want things to be humming, not hung up by some stupid injury...

A.M. - 60 minutes on the treadmill. All at 8.5 mph. Started flat and increased by 0.5 every 5 minutes with the last 5 mins at 5.5. Glute is okay at this speed or slower.

A.M. - Another short out-and-back. During the first half of the run, the glute felt the best it has in a month. The second-half it was more uncomfortable.

My boss took me and a couple other guys waterskiing today. We played pretty hard. I'm going to pay for it the next couple days.

No run today. Thought about it, but had a late night catching up on a work project and am pretty sore from the water sports yesterday. Resting the glute isn't a bad thing. I've mailed in my Fall running season anyway.

Slept in and worked for a couple more hours. Finally made it out in the early afternoon for a ride under an overcast ski. Good ride to Big Mountain and back (~66 miles). Would have done the extra 4 around my neighborhoods to make it an even 70, but the winds were gusting strong at that point and I didn't want to deal with them anymore. Coming back on Wasatch, BCC and LCC were bellowing like no other.
