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. - 40 minutes on the stairstepper at the gym.
P.M. - Took out the Stumpjumper for a quick ride up the home course; Little Cottonwood Creek Trail. The trail was free of snow all the way to the top, no surprise given the record heat weather. Didn't make it out the door until about 7, but got home just before sundown. Beautiful ride as always. Great way to end the day. | | Add Comment |

| P.M. - 35 minutes on the treadmill: 5 minutes each at 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0 (all flat). Then 5 mins @ 10.0 mph, 1.0 incline and 5 mins @10.0 with 2.0 incline. Hardest run I've done in almost a month and first time all April that I've run back to back days. Progress...Leg felt okay, but still noticing it during the run. |

| A.M. - Shorten version of my standard Little Cottonwood out-and-back course...It's been about a month since I've been out on the roads. Leg felt okay. I was just happy to be outside running in the cool Spring air. Not sure if the leg is really ready to roll yet, but I'm getting impatient. Don't understand why this dang injury is taking so long. I feel like I've been being careful....Get better already! |
