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.
5 miles up the wild horse loop until it got to muddy, then 5 mile down hill tempo in 29:15. I am starting to do more downhill running to prepare for some up comming down hill races.
4 miles cooldown. I still feel the marathon in my legs.
20 x 400m with 200m jog. @ 5k pace at altitude of 6400 ft. I wanted to get a little bit of turnover. ave pace for the 400s came out to be 5:30/mile. I was hopeing for a little faster but this alt zaps the speed out of you up here.
5:30 am long run on the TM. I put a board under the back end to simulate downhill. It did the trick and worked the quads. ave pace was 6:39. I could have gone faster but I didn't want to be to sore.
Tempo Tuesday. I did a 10 mile aerobic builder. Warmed up with 2.2 miles and then started the tempo run. 10 miles in 59:44. Ave pace 5:59. This was hard from 3 miles on. Stoped and tied my shoes twice, which was a short needed break. New shoes.
PM: Treadmill run. I was planning on an easy 5 or 6 and I felt supringly good. So,, I did a 10k progressive run in 39:29. Started at 5mph and finished at 11. All at 3% incline.
AM. 4 miles in the morning. Going out of tof town to Cheyenne for spring break I was tired an didn't want to get up to eary. Besides I had a late flight an didn't get home until 12:30.
We went to my brother-in-laws house in Cheyenne. The plan was 24-25 easy miles. It was a cold windy and blowing snow/ice crytals. I got going running 7:20 to 7:30 /mile and feeling pretty good. Turned around at 12.5 miles. At 13 I needed to find a pit stop. I was out in the country and there wasn't much traffic and the houses were spread out a bit. I soon became desperate so I jumped in the ditch inbetween some cars and did my thing. Luckly I carry a little TP in a zip lock bag for these special times. At 14 miles I decited to do a 10 mile progression. ( 7:12, 6:57, 6:48, 6:35, 6:29, 6:20, 6:11, 6:04, 6:00, 6:52. The last 4 were slightly uphill and really tough I had to stop at a stop light which was very welcomed. Cooled down 1 mile then decited to add 1.2 to make 26.2 miles in 3:06
