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. - Very early mountain bike ride. Once up and down the Temple Quarry Trail after a sleepless night getting ready for camp and making sure my work matters were in order for the week. Met at the ward at 7 A.M. and caravaned up to Camp Hunt at Bear Lake.

A.M. - Early morning water-ski with Scout on Bear Lake. My buddy Scout is also a scoutmaster and our two smaller-size scout troops are sharing a camp. He brought his boat, so we made the most of the early morning water.

P.M. - 50-mile solo road ride around Bear Lake while the boys were in their merit badge classes. 2:16 and change, 22 mph hour. Had a nice tail wind all along the east side which really helped the overall speed. It's mostly a pretty flat ride. On the east side there are some rollers. ~800 something of gross elevation gain over the whole loop. The road is not in the best shape, especially on the north and east sides. Good, fun ride to just get out and hammer for 2+ hours. It's interesting that the loop is 50 miles to the dot.

A.M. - Another circumnavigation of Bear Lake (50 miles). This time did it with Scott in about 2:31 (~20 mph ave), so more relaxed than yesterday.

A.M. - Easy "test" run for the left calf on the standard 9 mile course. Told myself I'd stop at the first sign of pain and just hop on the bike. Fortunately, there was no pain!! I took it pretty cautiously and slow the whole way, but I'm way excited that there was no pain. Right now, the plan is to go for a full week of running this coming week, but I'll play it day-by-day.

P.M. - BCC to Guardsman (~50 miles). First time of the year for an all-time favorite ride. Weather was warm of course, but things noticably start getting cooler as you reach about the Storm Mountain level.
