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.

Since the pain in my left shin is persisting and running (even the light load I've been doing) is not helping it, I've decided to completely lay off running for a while. I plan on giving it at least a week and then reassessing at that point. There is still hope for the Salt Lake Half, but I'm not going to force it if it isn't right for me. Its a bummer, but I'm going to keep this setback in perspective. I'd rather back-off now than be forced to in a few months when it'll be more important for me to be in groove.
Went to the gym this morning and messed around for 45 minutes on the elliptical. The rest of the week will probably be similar. I'd love to (and need to) get out on the bike, but work is pretty suffocating right now. | | Comments(1) |

| Had a late night and consequently didn't get up early enough to workout. Fortunately, I'm working at a client located relatively close to home and my gym. I was able to break away during my lunch break for 45 minutes on the elliptical. | | Add Comment |

| Stressful week going on with work. I'm having a hard time falling asleep at night and getting up in the morning. Had an early meeting at work and Lindsay wanted to go the gym. I couldn't get up to take the early shift so I missed the morning workout. It doesn't help that I'm not running right now causes its making my motivation to stay active go to pot. Fortunately, I was able to make it to the gym this afternoon for an hour on the Stepmill and a few other little things. Felt good. Good workout to use some different muscles. | | Add Comment |

| Again, couldn't get up today. It's been the same story all week. Late nights, stress. My system is jacked-up. If I don't watch it, this is going to become a bad habit. Made it to the gym after work for a quick 30 mins on the elliptical. I'm glad the weekend is here. I hope to be able to take the bike out tomorrow. Good news is the leg have been feeling progressively better. Virtually unnoticeable when I'm walking. I notice it a bit more when I'm weight-bearing, but there's no pain. The time off running is definitely helping. I might experiment a little on Monday, but my gut is that its not ready yet. We'll see. | | Comments(2) |

| 50 mile bike ride to the top of Emigration Canyon and back with my buddy Scott. I would have loved to have run this morning, but when that's not an option, a good ride is great consolation. Beautiful day, great friends, awesome. | | Add Comment |
