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.

Still some lingering stuffiness from the cold. Ready for it to be totally gone and out of my life already.
P.M. - LCC Ride (~25 miles). Though this canyon is always a challenge, it felt a lot better today than Saturday when doing it after first climbing Guardsman. Dad's 60th B-Day bash tonight.

Ugh..
P.M. - Millcreek ride (~43 miles). Had to take the long way out and back (i.e. Little Cottonwood Rd instead of Wasatch Blvd) because of the Cottonwood Heights fire. The way out and up the canyon was quick because of the south wind. But the way back was slow for the same reason.

Some girl was using my favorite TM, so I had to use an alternate.

| Pocatello Marathon (training run effort)
Ran the Pocatello Marathon today as a training effort. This was my fourth year doing this event ('11, '12, '14, and now '15). This was the first time I didn't approach it as a race. Main reason being it is only 4 weeks before my goal race, SGM (in past years its always been 5), and I didn't want to necessitate backing off my training schedule much to accomodate a taper and the subsequent marathon recovery period. Goal was to run a controlled effort averaging 6-minute pace, and if I felt good, to push the last few miles. That goal was mostly accomplished in that I averaged 6:01 pace (2:38:12). I generally felt good and controlled, never near redlining. However, my splits were not as consistent as I ideally would have liked, and I really wasn't man enough to push the last few miles as hard as I should have/had planned. Ended up finishing 1st place. Temperatures were perfect. Slight headwind the second half. Admittedly, my legs feel more thrashed than I hoped they would for this effort.
Anyways, fun run. Good finish to a 90-mile week. This is an awesome little marathon that's run very well. The director and his team do a great job with it.
More thoughts later.
P.M. - 50 mile joy ride to the top of Little Mountain and back.
