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! How did the job interview in UT go?

The job interview went well. I was offered the position on the 20th. I will work for Air Methods and fly the University of Utah Hospital Airmed airplane (lifeflight). I will be based in Rock Springs, Wy. We are moving the first of May.
When do you think that I should start to taper/ last Boston on April 20th?

I usually do a two week "taper". 2 weeks out cut back to about 50 percent of normal with some tempo and a 8-10 mile run a week out. The week going into the race, normally about 25-30 miles. Good luck!
