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.

Plan was 12 to 14. Only did 12 because I was tired. Knowing that Phoenix is in a week, a 90 min run was enough.

Feeling pretty good. however, I took a good spill onto my knee at .05 miles from my house.

PM. My knee is not doing good. It is very stiff and a little swolen. I am icing it a lot. I only hope that I can run on it on Saturday.

No run. I tried warming up on an exercise bike. Then I tried running on the treadmill at marathon pace and couldn't do it.

My knee is not doing well. I think that when I slipped, I hyper extended it. I am not very confident that I will be able to run on Saturday.

I was lucky to have even been able to start the race because of my fall on Tuesday. Not thrilled about my time. I went through the half what as planned 1:21:10. I am happy with my effort. I think going from a pr of 2:45 and trying for a sub 2:40 might be to much. Maybe baby steps. I did break top 15 and 3rd in my age group. Which were both goals. However Jasmine passed me with about .5 to go.

I will post more later. Time for some family time in this hot weather.
