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. - 7 miles on the standard out-and-back.

P.M. -Millcreek ride. The weather looked awesome at about 5:40 when I left work. Go home and ready and out the door. As I was riding north on Wasatch, I could see dark clouds looming in the west. The sky got progressively overcast as I worked up the canyon. Almost the instant I reached the top and turned around, I felt the first rain drop. It just progessed the whole way down. When I got to the bottom of the canyon, I was met with a nasty wind and pelting rain. It was getting pretty dark too. The 10+ miles home would not be my definition of fun, but I made it home safe (~40 miles).
