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.

P.M. - Millcreek ride (~40 miles). Hot on the way out, but wonderful in the canyon. My mom is an event coordinator at Log Haven now and I saw her driving home down the canyon as I was going up.

A.M. - 9. Calf injury is pretty much non-existent now (thankfully), but my legs are rocked! Not because of hard running (because I haven't been doing any), but I think its just a combo of (1)becoming an old man (as much as I hate to admit, it's becoming more and more noticable), (2) last night's ride (the runs the mornings after are often slogs), and (3) the fact that this was only my 3rd run back post-injury. Looking forward to taking the rest of the day easy.

A.M. - 12-miler. Could have and maybe should have went longer. Got a later start than I wanted and it was warm and even a little muggy. Didn't pre-plan mid-run water/energy. I'd be contending with a 4th of July parade going on up at 3000 E on my course, and really just wasn't into it. I guess I can rationalize it given that this is my first week back running in close to a month. This run puts my over 60 mpw, so I'll be content with it.

A.M. #2 - BCC to Guardman (~50 miles). Decent ride, but the canyon was crazy busy (as is to be expected for the holiday).
