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.

| Rest day. Spent Saturday night in Jackson Hole at the Lexington, a pretty nice but outrageously expensive hotel (everything is expensive in Jackson though!). Got a good night's rest, took our time in the morning, hit the awards ceremony at the high school, and headed back home via Kemmemer and Evanston. Got home around 5:15. | | Comments(1) |

A.M. - Another terrible Sunday night sleep...I don't know exactly what it is, but Sunday nights are the worst for me. I just can't shut my mind off. Notwithstanding, my running legs felt pretty good and this morning's treadmill workout wasn't bad:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat
5 mins @ 10.0, flat
20 mins @ 10.0, progressive inclines of 3 minutes each at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 5 minutes at 3.5
2.5 mins @ 10.0, flat
7.5 mins @ 10.5, flat
15 mins @ 11.0, flat (feeling just a little fatigued or I would have done that last 5 mins of this part at 11.5, but didn't think I had the will-power to do 10 mins at 11.5 today)
5 mins @ 11.5
I've got a work event tonight and will be in Albuquerque most of Tuesday and Wednesday. Hope to try and bike again Thursday afternoon. Even though LoToJa has come and gone now, I'd like to keep cross-training on the bike a few times a week since it seems to be complimenting my running pretty well. |

A.M. - 60 minute hotel treadmill run. I'm staying at the Hyatt in Albuquerque and they have a pretty nice fitness facility. Same nice Life Fitness treadmills that were in the Denver hotel I stayed in a couple of months ago.
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat
15 mins @ 10.0, flat
20 mins @ 10.5, flat
20 mins @ 11.0, flat
These treadmills, though nice, feel a bit harder (but are probably more honest if I had to guess) than the ones at my gym back home. So this workout felt plenty challenging for this morning.

A.M. - My standard 15-miler. Did the triangle in reverse direction. Chili temps this morning; nice.
P.M. - Millcreek ride (~40 miles). Good to be back on the bike, but it wasn't the easiet Millcreek ride I've done...Cycling legs are still a bit tired from Saturday. |

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph

A.M. - Good long run today. Did my standard out-and-back up to the Little Cottonwood park-and-ride 3 times. Mixed up the roads and sides of the roads I was running on so that it wasn't too monotonous. Took just over 3 hours (~6:52 ave/mi pace). Felt good. Weather was great. My wife is working all day and I've got the kiddos. So getting in a ride later today might not happen.
P.M. - Found a way to get my ride in. Up to Guardman's Pass (~50 miles). This is definitely one of my favorite training rides. Cycling legs felt better today compared to Thursday.
Ended the day with a sports massage.
Time with kids and family + long run + good ride + massage = awesome day!
Congratulations to everyone who raced and finished the TOU marathon today! |
