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.
Downhill marathon simulation/pace treadmill run
15 mi TM PM run. First 10@ 6:00/mi varying incline of 1 or 2. I don't know what % incline that is. The last 5 were at an incline of 2 and the last 4mi was progressively faster. Ave. pace 5:56
25 mile long run
I started at Three Patches Picnic Area @ 8400 ft and ended at my house @ 6400 ft for 21 miles +4 miles. I started with 1 mile easy then a 10 marathon pace miles in 1:00:13 ave pace 6:01. Then 2.5 miles easy followed by 3 tempo miles in 17:07 ave pace 5:42. I ran the 4.5 miles easy the rest of the way home. I stopped at the house got a drink and hit the restroom and ran 4 more easy miles around my hood for a total of 25 miles. A grand total of 90.1 miles for the week. That is the most ever. Finished and it was 80 degrees at my house. Good thing that I stashed 3 water bottles on the drive up.
Now it is time to write my talk for Sacrament Meeting tomorrow at church.
