Married, we have one daughter so far. I ran for Alta high school and was trained by Rob Murphy, he is a great coach, one of the best there is. I also ran for Southern Utah University.
I ran a nice, decent workout somewhere around 7 minute pace. It felt good, I am excited for the Cottonwood heights thanksgiving 5k tomorrow. My goal is to run in the top 5, but it all depends on who shows up. It will be fun!

I saw. Solid time too. When are you going to post a race report?

I wrote one. I filled out a questionnaire for BYU Hawaii, it feels like I am a little bit below there standards. I did come pretty close to one of their best runners today though. But if I do good in 2014 maybe I will be good enough.

You still have two seasons of track and one of cross country ahead of you though!
