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. - Very leisurely mountain bike ride on the Little Cottonwood trail. Started at about 7 AM, so I didn't have a lot of time. Almost an hour total of ride time. Made it about half way up the trail before it was time to turnaround head back home. Beautiful morning to just get out and enjoy nature on the mtn. bike.

Still very sore today. I do not like going down stairs right now! :)

A.M. - Once up and down the Little Cottonwood trail on the mountain bike. Got an earlier start than yesterday so I was able to make it to the top of the trail this time. Very leisurely pace again. Was nice. Got rained on the last little bit, enough to get cold and drenched!

A.M. - Once up and down the Little Cottonwood trail. Same as yesterday, but better today because didn't have the rain. Love being in the mountains as the sun is coming up.

A.M. - Gee's, I'm a boring guy, or so it seems... Once up and down the Little Cottonwood trail, again. 5th straight morning this week. But honestly, I've been riding this trail for over 20 years now (some years more than others) and it never gets old. Can't beat how convenient it is for me because its so close to home.

Ran into an old Deloitte buddy (Brian Currie) at the top of the trail. Real good to see him. He's certainly an athletic talent, jack of all trades, and knows how to live life to the fullest better than just about anyone I know.
