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.

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.

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.

I was really looking forward to your result this morning. I hadn't seen that you hurt your knee, that sucks man! But still a solid race. You certainly "earned" a faster time than that with your training. But sometimes these darn marathon aren't fair!
Despite that, I am still very impressed with your dedication and buildup for this race. I thought you did everything well. So keep at it!
