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.
I did the an easy pace greenbelt country club 10 mile loop in 1:12:34. I kept wanting to go faster but that is for tomorrow. I should have done my speed workout today but I was not feeling well on Sat. evening and yesterday morning.
I wasn't going to run today because I felt like crap last night with a fever, and even this morning I was not feeling to great either. This afternoon I feeling really good so I went for a really easy run without the watch.
This was a tough workout plus I just got over being sick.
1.1 warmup
3 x 800m @ 2:30 w/ 3 min recover for the first 1 and 5 min for second because I had to hit the port-a-potty (2:30, 2:31, 2:31) The first one was not that bad. The second one hurt and my tummy started to rumble.( I knew that I had to hit the john before the next one). The last one was really hard and I almost stopped at 400m. I then had a 3 min rest and then did a 3 mile tempo (5:57, 5:54, 5:56). The tempo also hurt but it was expected because of the 800s.
