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.

Last night I consumed about as much food as one person can in one evening and I had plenty to drink. Still fet pretty tired this afternoon when I got out for a run.  Maintained a fairly even pace.  Sped up a little the last couple of miles with the help of a strong tailwind.

Lunchtime run up City Creek Canyon. It was so warm I had to take my shirt off and stop for a drink.

I went for a long trail run up City Creek Canyon. I ran up the trail on the south side of the Canyon that ends up behind the Avenues.  It was a beautiful, warm day full of sunshine.  I brought water and some nutrition along to keep from dehydrating and bonk. I wish I could run like this every single day of my life. Maybe someday...

Lunchtime run up City Creek Canyon.  I took it easy except for Mile 4 when a cyclist passed me and I decided to try and keep pace on the uphill.  Mission accomplished.

Mountain View Corridor Loop.  Started before 9 to avoid the heat.  Started out with an easy mile and then realized I was feeling pretty loose, so I ran hard for the next ten miles.  Managed to run an even split, which was made easier by the amount of climbing and the punishing headwind in the first half of the run.  Still, I felt strong all the way through this run.  I realized it didn't matter whether I finished in 1:23 or 1:24, so I took it easy on the last mile.
