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 originally planned on doing a tempo run outside in between classes, I forgot some of my warmer running clothing and garmin. So I did the tempo on the TM at school. I did 6 tempo miles AP 5:49 @ 1.5% incline.
Long run day today. The first and biggest mistake that I made today was that I didn't eat anything before I went. I got a little hypoglycemic on the run. I did 9 miles easy then 6 miles at MP followed by 2 miles easy. AP for the easy miles was 6:46. AP for marathon pace was 6:15. I was planning on doing 7 MP miles and 2 of those at tempt but I was feeling the low energy from not eating. Like last week I did 10 miles of my long run at MP.
