Running Accomplishments:

I ran for Utah State University for a few years from 1999-2002. I got a little burned out and took a break from running. Now 10 years later, I feel that there is still faster running left to accomplish. I started running again in mid-summer of 2012. I had a short spurt in 2009, but work got in the way.

Personal:

I am married and have a 5 year old little boy and a 2 year old little girl. I graduated from USU in aviation and worked as a pilot for many years. After subsequential furloughs and lay-offs due to the economy, I decided to go back to school. I then graduated from the nursing program at Boise State University. I now fly the University of Utah AirMed (Lifeflight) airplane base in Rock Springs WY.

-21 degrees outside so a long treadmill run. I had a hard time getting out the door this morning after flying. I also felt blah. Original plan was 20 with the last 5-6 LT tempo. I did 18 and 5 tempo.
I did 10 easy and still felt blah. I wanted to stop after 3. At 10 miles I did a 5 mile Tempo in 28:55 (AP 5:47). I actually felt better the first 4 miles of the tempo. After 5 it was time to stop. I managed to get 3 more blah miles in. At least I watched a whole move. Prefontane. It help keep me going the whole run
