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. - Slow easy 15.1-miler. Had to get up real early to get the run in so I could hit my 8:30 flight to San Fran. Will be there until late Tuesday night.

A.M. - 60-minute hotel run. I'll probably be kicking myself for not taking advantage of running on the coast or something out here, but honestly, I was pressed for time and didn't feel real adventurous. All flat:

5 minutes @ 9.0 mph
5 mins @ 9.5
10 mins @ 10.0
30 mins @ 10.5
5 mins @ 11.0
5 mins @ 11.5

Anxious to get home tonight.

A.M. - Treadmill run again, this time back at my home gym. Got home late last night from San Fran. All flat:

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph
5 mins @ 10.0
5 mins @ 10.5
25 mins @ 11.0
20 mins @ 11.5

Solid run for me, but I've got to admit that my gym's treadmills feel easier than the ones at the Hyatt hotels I've been staying in (see yesterday and two weeks ago).

P.M. - Millcreek ride (~40 miles)

Was at work real late last night. We're trying to issue a report today for client and we were on-site well after mid-night. Part of a classic public accounting last minute push to get an engagement done. Agh!... Slept-in a little bit and still had a good treadmill run.

A.M. - The "Scott Keate" TM work-out for 60 mins (Scott, I hope you don't mind what I've dubbed it :):

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph

A.M. - 15-miler. Slow and easy.


P.M. - Ride to Guardman's and back (~50 miles). Canyon is absolutely gorgeous right now. Temps are perfect. There were a lot of people out taking advantage of it.

Massage tonight.
