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. - Big Cottonwood ride to Brighton (~40 miles). My front bike tire had a big bulge in the side of it by the end of my ride this morning. Stopped by the bike shop after work and dropped a pretty penny on a new set of tires, a GPS bike computer (to this point I've only ever used my running Garmin for rides), and a better bike light than what I've been using. Excited to play with the new toys. Good news is that the chain and rear cog are in good shape.

| A.M. - Little Cottonwood ride. My new bike computer says its about 23.5 miles instead of the 25 I've been counting each time I do this ride. So I've been overstating my mileage :)

| A.M. - 9 really slow miles on the standard 9-mile course. Glute/back is so-so. I don't think I'm damaging it running real easy, but I think racing is out of the question for a while. Pocatello is a definite no, and SGM is looking more doubtful with each passing day. It's a bummer, but I'm okay with it. I learned long ago that there are up and down times (up and down years) with running. This is definitely turning out to be a 'down' year, but fretting about it isn't going to do me any good. Just need to focus on licking my wounds, healing-up, and living to run another day.

| A.M. - 8 miles out on the standard 9-mile route. Really slow again. Had to cutoff the last mile so the wife could get going somewhere she needed to be. During my run, the LCC half marathon was going on. It looked to have a pretty good turn-out. The first 8 miles of that race have to be brutal coming down that steep canyon. I'd be interested to hear from some folks who ran it to see what they thought of it. Ran with the race on the way back for a while on Little Cottonwood Canyon Rd; with the the 9-minute pace folks.
P.M. - 42 mile ride north on Wasatch to Parleys and then back on Wasatch to South Mountain and home. Was hoping to get in more of a ride than this, but I got started later in the afternoon than I should of and it started raining as soon as I left the house. It got progressively heavier as I went north on Wasatch. Lighting and thunder was going wild and I convinced myself that it just wasn't smart to keep going, especially to try riding up into a canyon. I decided to turn around and try my luck going south. The weather got substantially better within a few minutes. Made it to South Mountain and thought about going up Suncrest, but I was wet and out of will power, so just decided to head home.
