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.

This race was put on by the USU Aviation program that I graduated from. We acually got to run on one of the runways at the Logan-Cache Airport. My expectations were low for a good time (under 18) since I have done verually no speed work since before Boston. But I thought that I had a chance to win. However a USU ( I forgot his name) runner and a fast HS kid showed up. The course was flat a s pancake but there was 7 turns and 3 of them were complete 180s. Warmed up in the hanger since it was pouring out right before the start.
There were 4 of us that went through the mile at the same time. One college kid droped off just after 1 mile. I droped back about 5-10 sec on the second mile. the HS kid and USU guy went through mile 2 at the smae time. Then the USU guy took off. I wanted to catch the HS kid I just could not go faster, however, it only felt like a temp run after mile 2. The USU guy beat me by ~ 50 sec and the HS kid by ~20.
5:35, 5:37, 5:35, 0:36
I felt good about the race w/out and speed. But, I have run much longer tempo runs faster than that. I won a gamin forerunner 15 for 3rd.
I was able to talk to a few old friends that I have not seen in few years. I was planning on putting in 20mi today but I went to the airport openhouse with my fam instead and then to Bear Lake. So not more time to run.
