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.

No run today.

A.M. - 75 mile bike ride to Big Mountain then back south along Wasatch to 12300 S. Back on 1300 East. About 6.1K feet of total climbing. Kept things pretty easy. Just wanted to get some quality time in the saddle. Made it on two bottles of fluid (plus couple bars) and didn't have to make any pit stops which was nice. Good ride.

P.M. - 35 mile ride. Relatively easy. Very similar to the one I did Saturday with Scott. North on Wasatch to the top of the hill by the zoo. Then back. Extended up to the mouth of LCC and then around my neighborhood a bit to get a round 35. Last road ride before Lotoja. I'm excited to get the Enve wheels back on! Bike is all clean and getting a little tune-up tomorrow.

LoToJa 2014

Much different experience this year (i.e. much slower) as a result of doing it with a team of friends this year and our ride strategy, but still a very fun time. Felt good and strong the whole ride.

 

More to come later...
