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.

Great workout, surviving the storm?

The last 3 weeks have been brutal. A whole winters worth of snow and it has been cold. I have been stuck on the treadmill. It is either snowing or to cold to run outside. This weekend is not looking promising either.

Very nice tempo, and great distance on it too. That's a really good marathon-specific workout.

Thanks Guys, I am in the best marathon shape of my life. I am starting to have a hard time staying motivated though. This weather up here makes it hard. Lots of Snow + very cold temps = lots of treadmill miles. I just have to keep telling myself that April 20 is right around the corner Only 9 more weeks
