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 am down here in Logan visiting my family and there is a blizzard out. I did the Nibley, Millville, and Providence bench loop in the blizzard. At six miles, I did 4 miles at tempo with 4+ inches of snow on the ground. I kept the tempo pace in the low 5:50's, but it felt a lot harder than that. I did 2.2 more miles at 6:15 pace. After I walked in the door I could hardly talk because my whole face was frozen.
I ran12 miles around my in-laws home by Soda Springs. This run included a blizzard, wind, icy roads, deep snow, snow drifts, uphills and downhills, 20 degrees, and starting elevation at 6000 ft.
Eleven easy miles up in Soda Springs on the ice and snow. My hip flexor was sore today, but not as sore as yesterday. I don't have to run very hard up here in Soda because of the altitude.
Long run today. Ran from my house up the green belt and back. Kept a steady pace the whole run. AP was 6:40. Kept every mile under 6:40 but the first. The temperature was 37 degrees when I left. It dropped 10 degrees and the wind picked up about half way through the run. I got cold.
