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. - Standard 15-miler. Triangle in reverse.
P.M. - I knew I was going to have an very busy/late work-day today, so my normal early-week ride (usually Millcreek) wasn't going to happen today. We recently moved offices and our building has a nice locker room and shower. I brought my bike to work and used my lunch to squeeze in a consolation ride. Did an out-and-back to Saltair via basically California Avenue, 5600W, and the frontage road. Much flatter than the rides I usually do. Didn't have the Garmin, but I figure it was between about 25-30 miles. Hot out, but not to bad. Just glad I was able to ride a bit today.
Ended up working until about 12:30A. |

A.M. - 15-miles. Triangle in normal direction.
A.M.2 - Ride up Millcreek (~40 miles). Busy up in the canyon today, as was to be expected for the holiday. Unfortunately they've openned the gate now so motor vehicles can drive on the upper section of the canyon road now. Boo. That's one of the big benefits biking in Millcreek (at least through the end of June). |

| A.M. - For some reason, my body was in Sunday (rest day) mode when I woke up (later than I should have) this morning. Probably because yesterday kind of felt like a Saturday. I didn't have to work today, but my wife had to be in by 9, so I would have the kiddos. I didn't have a lot of time for a run and mentally and physically wasn't really into it. Today normally would have been a gym/treadmill day. Instead I salvaged an 8-miles outside in slog-fashion. Ah well. |

A.M. - Long run. 2 laps on the 12-mile route. One normal direction, one reverse. A little muggy, but the rain last night really cooled things off and it was actually quite pleasant. P.M. - 70 mile ride up Big Mountain and back. Last night the weatherman said this afternoon would be very similar to yesterday's (afternoon thunderstorms). I started my ride earlier than usual in an effort to finish before the storms rolled in. As I rode, I watched the weather slowly deteriorate and knew I was going to be in for a wet one. The rain started falling lightly during the ascent up Little Mountain. I was tempted to turn back at that point, but decided to stick it out. Things were fine until the turnaround at the top of Big Mountain. Than it really started pouring. It peaked about the time I was coming down the lower part of Emigration (~Ruth's Diner). Fortunately, it mostly subsided by the time I got to Millcreek. Dried the bike real good when I got home and cleaned/lubed the chain. On the bright side, the rain kept things cool and it was a good ride. This will serve as a good practice ride for the CS Century in two weeks. Not sure if this this kosher to ask on the blog, but if anyone is interested in contributing to my fundraising drive, click here: CF Cycle For Life - Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Any little contribution helps (and is tax deductible)!
