Originally from Upstate NY. Moved to SLC with Andrea in 2010. Got back into racing in 2011 after several years of playing in the mountains near Vail, CO and not competing. I was a good high school runner, didn’t do much of significance in college, and only raced sporadically afterwards. Andrea and I reinvested ourselves in the competitive side of the sport and made the jump to a new level in 2011 - now the spectrum of what we believe we’re capable of has been shifted, and I’m excited to see where we can go from here. I’m enjoying every step of this journey! This profile in Run Utah magazine from gives a lot more information on my background. I love running. The sport has given me a lot over the years, and I want to find ways to give back to it as much as possible. In addition to running, I enjoy all types of outdoor adventures. Backcountry skiing is my other big passion. Favorite Blogs: |

AM - 13 miles. Holladay "Ahhhh the bread at Great Harvest smells so good... do you think Top-It is open at 6:30?" loop w/ Andrea... split off after 7.5 miles and then up to work. The hill up to HCI isn't getting any smaller. PM - 4.5 miles. | | Comments(19) |

AM - 10.5 miles. We interrupted the regularly scheduled easy group run for a track workout. Everyone still showed up except for Fritz, who is running a marathon in 72 hours, so he was excused. He did run by at the end to check up on us. Workout was 8 x 800m + 4 x 200m (200m jog b/w all reps). Averaged 2:26 (2:25.97 - gotta round it up!) for the 800s and 31.8 for the 200s. We had to do some sprinkler dodging on the warmup, during the workout itself, and on the cooldown. Its that time of the year. Overall another solid but unspectacular session. I felt very much in control - the splits were exactly what I was targeting for today. Hopefully after a couple more weeks of putting together these building blocks, I'll be ready for a breakthrough in June. PM - 5 miles shakeout, easy. *Today's WSJ article on Abdi is a must read. Every paragraph is quotable! FYI - Jeremy Ranch run again this Saturday - meet here at 8:00am. Check back on Friday to confirm that time, though. We'll run b/w 15-18 miles again, then refuel at Ruth's. Or go outlet shopping with Redd.

AM - 10 miles up to work. I looped around a bit extra by Red Butte because I had some extra time and there was a nice cool breeze. Felt good this morning. PM - 6.4 miles. Down to SHP, second half of the run w/ Andrea. | | Comments(2) |

AM - 12.5 miles. I had a way too early meeting at work this morning, so I had to start my workout a lot earlier than I would have preferred to! Warmed up 2 miles, then eased into a 10 mile progression run - Splits: 5:38, 5:32, 5:25, 5:20, 5:20, 5:18, 5:16, 5:13, 5:11, 5:06 (53:20 total, Avg pace = 5:20 / mile). Cooled down a half-mile then scurried up to work.
Good aerobic effort to start off the week. It was weird to actually run in the dark... I've gotten used to the constant daylight over the past couple weeks. I come off these Sundays in the mountains all charged up - there is just something about getting up in the alpine that energizes me. PM - 6 miles. 2 miles around SHP, to the track and right into 8 x 200m (hot/cold) in 31.6 seconds average, then another 2 miles around the park. Then I locked every set of keys to my jeep inside the jeep as soon as I got home. Awesome.

AM - 7 miles easy. PM - 3 miles + drills + grilling steaks. Another awesome, beautiful, warm day up at Alta. We skied an aesthetic, fun line off the east side of Mt Baldy. Anytime I get to set a bootpack staircase up a chute, I'm a happy guy! I put up a bunch more photos on Wasatch & Beyond. Here's a few... 
 I wore my shorty shorts in honor of Jun's double crossing of Zion NP yesterday!
