Personal:

I love to run.  Most days, it is the difference between a good day and a great day.  And on those days that aren't so good, a nice long run helps me to relax and remember what is important to me.

I'm an attorney, but frankly, I don't like most lawyers.  I don't care about money or social status.  Fortunately, I found my dream job as a prosecutor. As such, I spend most of my time in court trying to achieve a resolution that will have the best impact on our community.

I've been married to my best friend, Jennifer, since 2003.  I like to think she has made a decent man out of the boy she married.  We have 3 amazing children.  They are the joy of my life.

I enjoyed some unusually warm weather (low 50's) during my run up City Creek Canyon. No gloves, jacket, or headgear needed - in January no less. My legs felt good after a hard effort Saturday, and I was able to run at a fairly rapid pace without much effort. 

It was a good way to start the week.  I am planning on running 40 miles in 5 stages of 6, 5, 10, 5 and 14 miles. Hopefully all goes well.  I mapped out my weekly mileage through the end of March.  I build slowly to 50 miles the last week of March with a couple of reduced mileage weeks in the middle of March.  That will lead up to my first race of the year at the Buffalo Run 25K.
