Running Accomplishments:

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.

Had planned on racing the Christmas Run today. However, I snowed 4-6 inches and made for a mess on the roads. I decited not to run the race so that I would not get injured running in the slippery mess. Ran hard on the TM instead.

10 miles easy (well I say easy but it is always a shock to my body to run in the tundra of Soda Springs ID at 6000+ ft elevation). I hit 3000 miles today for the year. I just got it in after a couple or really bad weeks in this Dec.
