Running Accomplishments:

Quantcast

 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.

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.

6x800 2:40, 2:41, 2:39, 2:39, 2:37, and 2:35 with 1:1 rest. I felt really strong at the end of this workout. I would have done more sets, but I didn't have time. I should have made the rest shorter.

This was my first 400m workout in YEARS. It felt good but a little slower than I wanted. I did 90 sec rest in between. I wanted to run 72 or faster 400s. I wanted to do 10-12 sets but only did 8. I then modified the rest and did 200s and 400s

400s  72, 72, 72, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76

200s  35, 34, 35, 33

100s  13, 13, 13, 13

Bennett (2) wanted to come as I was getting ready to go running. He kept saying "walk". Since I was going for an easy run, I decided to push him in the stroller. It was cold so I had to bundle him up good. I try and take him on an easy run once a week because he loves it. He loves seeing all the dogs, cats, airplanes, buses, ups, and US Postal service trucks as we go. 

So I did 6 easy miles pushing Bennett.

5 hour car ride, then turkey, and then 4.6 miles @ 6000+ feet above see level. I live at 2700, so it is like high alt training.

Very hilly and windy 13 mile run at 6000 ft. I can definitely tell the difference in altitude from Boise at 2800 ft.
