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.

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat
25 mins @ 10.0, flat
20 mins @ 10.0, progressive inclines; 5 mins each at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0

P.M. - Millcreek ride (~39 miles). First Millcreek of the season. Made to about the 0.25-mile from the top before the snow was too thick to keep going. Had an awesome tailwind for much of the first ~10 miles to the canyon, but then later had the reckoning on the way back home.

A.M. - 14.1 miles. Was a real slog this morning for some reason. Just didn't have anything in the tank. May have been a tad dehydrated.

P.M. - After several hours doing yard work in the sun, I wasn't in the mood to break out the Cervelo for a road ride. Instead went mountain biking to Little Cottonwood trail. Twice up and down. Not quite the workout I would have gotten on the road bike, but still two hours of cycling and very fun. Mountain biking works you differently. Weather and temp conditions were awesome.
