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.

Rest day. Walked my kids up the street to go see the neighbor's horses. Woke up with a little bit of shin splits this morning from Saturday's run. Nothing bad, but I haven't felt those for a while.

A.M. - I was in a hurry to get to an early meeting at the office today, so the run was a little abbreviated. Followed my standard route to just past the Bell Canyon parking lot and then back.

A.M. - Hotel treadmill run:

5 minutes @ 8.5 mph
5 mins @ 9.0
5 mins @ 9.5
20 mins @ 10.0
(6.5 miles)

Just one of those days. I wasn't really 'feeling it' today. I could have went longer, but had to take a potty break and didn't have the motivation to hop back on. The effort felt a little harder than it should have. Possibly due to not enough sleep hours the last few nights.

P.M. - After work, a co-worker wanted to sneak in a little workout before dinner, so I joined him. Didn't have a lot of time, but it was nice to stretch out the legs with an easy little run.

5 mins each at 8.0 mph, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, and 10.0. All flat.
(3.75 miles)

Sad that I couldn't be home with my kids for Halloween this year, but we had a lot of fun doing Halloween stuff together this past weekend.

A.M. - Out-and-back on the Paseo Del Bosque Trail (north). Easy pace again. Weather down here in ABQ is nice. It seems a bit smoky though, but I'm not aware of any wildfires around here.

Found out that my wife and I got into the Ogden Marathon in May! We put in for the lottery as a group with a bunch of friends and got in. It should be fun. I've done the half once (bandit 2010) and loved it, but I've never done the full. I've heard a lot of good things about it. It will be my first spring marathon. It'll be interesting training simultaneously with my wife and doing it during my 'busy season,' especially with all of the traveling I'm going to be doing this year (hopefully I don't get too fat). I'm excited though.

A.M. - My go-to 15-mile route. Felt good. My longest run since St. George. 6:49 ave/mi. pace.

Weekly mileage is hovering right about where I want it to be this time of year (~50+). No fancy workouts. All I want is consistent, easy, injury free running.
