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.

| Group run with Scott, Mike, Fritz, Chris, Nate, and Nate. 6+ north from the cars at an easy pace. Then a little faster on the way back. Started the first 2 with Mike and Fritz at a touch over 6 minute pace. Mike took off for a 4 mile tempo at ~5:30 pace. I hung with Fritz for another mile plus. Then I slowed considerably and he sped up and eventually caught Mike. There was a bit of a headwind. Maybe 6:15-6-20 average for me for the 6 miles. Nothing to write home about, but I haven't done anything close to this fast in quite some time. We all re-grouped at the car and then headed south for a few more miles.
All in all, a good, fun run with great company. Felt good, but I'm far cry from being in any sort of good shape. Nothing quite like running with fast/talented people to help stoke the fire a little bit, and that's just what my running needs right now.

| A.M. - I'll call this one 4 miles and that might be generous. Most disastrous run I've had in a while. Tummy not happy at all. Forced to walk much of the last section of the route and barely made it to the toilet. Yikes.

| Canyonlands Half Marathon - Always a fun run. I think this was my 8th time doing it. Running conditions were about as good as it gets for Moab. No headwind this year (often years there is one). Performance was about all I could have expected it to be given that I seriously haven't spent any time in sub-6 pace territory since SGM. Ran without a watch (intentionally left it home). Ended up finishing 9th overall, second in the division, ~30 seconds behind Walter. Went and hit-up Slickrock on the mountain bike before heading home (it kicked my butt too :). I'm not committed to any other races on the calendar yet. Need to figure-out what I want to do and start getting a little more serious already.

A little rant... Of the 15 treadmills at my gym, there is exactly 1 left (a 10-year old Lifetime) that I feel comfortable running on. The others are just so old, noisy, and rickety that I'm too self-conscience about using them for fear of disturbing all the surrounding gym patrons. I truthfully don't know what a reasonable life expectancy of one of these machines should be, but come on gym management... Isn't it time?! I going to say something....

Three TM runs in a week (actually good in my book)... Haven't done that in a long time.

| A.M. - 16 mile course. Last night our church hosted a stake-sponsored boy scout camp at the park behind our church. I guess you could qualify it as a quasi-camp. Me (Scoutmaster) and the assitant spent the night with them. Actually a pleasant night to sleep under the stars. The boys didn't settle down until around 1 AM, so sleep duration and quality wasn't the best. Woke up around 4:30 for a nature break and luckily I did because my phone battery was dead at that point because of the cold and I would've over-slept my alarm (should have kept it in the mummy bag with me). Couldn't sleep anymore, so I went home just before 5. Got ready to run while my wife went out for a few miles. Then did my run and made it back to "camp" before the stake-provided breakfast and flag ceremony. Not sure how much the parents of my boys would've appreciated me and the assistant both leaving the boys to do our morining runs. I rationalized it though since we left them on church property with a million other people. I know the boys didn't miss us. Hopefully I'm not too much of a bad/selfish/irresponsible person for doing that :)
