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.

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.

1.9 mile WU. 7 mile aerobic building tempo run in 42:24 (6:03 min/mile ave. pace). Then 2.5 mile cool down. I am going to start doing this same 7 miles along the greenbelt and see how I progress. It is time to start building a good aerobic base along with strenght and speed.

3 mile warmup to the track. 3 x 1mile (5:29, 5:29, 5:28). goal was sub 5:30, then 4 x 200 cut-downs (35, 34,34, 33). I didn't want to go to fast and crazy on the cut-downs because I did a workout like that a year ago and that started the issues with the hip flexor.

Lighter speed workout

3 mile warm up run to the track

Did a few drills, strides, and stretches. I am going to try to improve my form at a faster speed.

Speed work concentrating on keeping good form while tired. 1600, 1200, 800, 400, 400, & 400

(5:22, 4:04, 2:39, 1:17, 1:16, & 1:14) Rest got shorter with each rep.
