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 went for a run this morning.  It was nice and warm, and the wind had gone away.  Unfortunately, the lake is becoming infested with bugs.  It's definitely spring time.

I ran the Virginia Loop today.  It was warm and windy, but I kept a relatively quick pace.  Stil, I had plenty of energy when I finished.

I had a fun time running on the trails south of City Creek Canyon.  I wish I could have kept running all afternoon, but I had to return to work.  I consider myslef lucky to have such amazing trails so close to the office.

I told myself I wouldn't look at my watch at all today.  My goal was to take it easy and enjoy the miles. I accomplished that part, but I did check out my watch while waiting at a light at 8.4 miles.  Considering the difficult headwind that I had encountered for the past 4 miles I was surprised that I was under 61 minutes.  I lengthened my stride and ran with a little more purpose until I arrived home at 11 miles.  Then I took the dog for a jaunt around the neighborhood.
