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.

Nothing to write home about, but this concludes the most decent TM week for me in a long time. Christened some new PureFlow's this morning. I like them. They'll become my outside work horses. I've come down with a cold the last few days, very mild at this point, but I suspect it'll hit soon. Hopefully it runs its course quickly and doesn't get in my way too much these last few weeks leading up to Ogden.

A.M. - double 12-mile loops. Reverse triangle the second time around. It was raining pretty good before I started, but then it subsided. First 10 miles or so were dry, then the rain just progressively got heavier through the end of the run. Was a sopping mess when I got home, but pretty good run otherwise. Cold symptoms aren't really manifesting right now which is good.
