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. - Normal 15-mile route extended a mile.

P.M. - Once up and down the Little Cottonwood Trail on the mountain bike (just to stretch out the biking legs). First time on the mountain bike in over two months... Good for a change. Had washed my bike last night and didn't want to get it dirty before Saturday, hence the mtn. bike ride.

My legs just don't want anything to do with going over 10.5 mph this week. Guess its just residual from the marthon...

Excited for Lotoja tomorrow!

No run. LoToJa (9 hr 49 mins). Definitely got some thoughts on this one that I'll want to record.
