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. - Same as yesterday. Nice and cold and slushy. Was up terribly late last night, but felt alright on the run though. Needed a good Christmas day nap though. |

| A.M. - 60 minutes on the Life Centre treadmill: 5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, flat 40 mins @ 10.0, progressive inclines, 5 mins each at: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 2.5 mins @ 10.0, flat 2.5 mins @ 10.5, flat 2.5 mins @ 11.0, flat 2.5 mins @ 11.5, flat The incline section felt too easy. I normally would have struggled pretty hard with this. I wasn't using my normal treadmill this morning, so I question whether the incline settings were accurate. After the run, I walked on the machine and messed with the incline settings. It seemed to be working, but it just didn't feel right. I'm not in very good shape right now and with all the junk I've been eating lately, this incline should have done me in. |

| A.M. - Shortened run this morning out on the snow and slush covered roads. I slept in and my wife had to work today so I needed to get home quick for the kiddos. Out-and-back to just past the Bell Canyon parking lot at the mouth of Little Cottonwood. I wouldn't mind getting in a few more miles later on, but realistically there is a slim to no chance that will happen. |

A.M. - Thought I was going to have a running partner this morning, but I guess he got busy :) It was snowing out, so I decided to take it inside. 60-minute treadmill run at the Life Centre:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat
5 mins @ 10.0, flat
30 mins @ 10.0, progressive inclines with 5 mins each at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0
5 mins @ 10.0, flat
5 mins @ 10.5, flat
5 mins @ 11.0, flat
5 mins @ 11.5, flat
Felt pretty good. I was back on one of my preferred treadmills and today's 30-minute inclince section worked me over harder than the 40-minute (up to 4.0 incline) did on Wednesday and confirmed my suspicions that something must have been off with that machine. |

| A.M. - Slept in quite late and didn't get started running until mid-morning. Did my go-to 12-mile and 9-mile routes back to back (less the first mile of the 9-mile route). Nice and easy, about ~7 min average pace. It was pretty cold out, but I was bundled nice and warm. On my hands, I wore my thin spandexy Nike gloves and then put my fleece mittens on too. The doubling-up kept my paws nice and toasty the entire run. |
