Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next couple years I would like to focus on the Marathon. My goal is to hit the Olympic "A" Standard in the next 2 years. I would also like to place at a USA marathon championship in the top 10. I have a long way to go, but I have a long time to get there.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Running in the Olympics would have to be my long time running goal. That would be awesome.

Personal:

I married Meagan in March 2005. We don't have any kids yet. Both Meagan and I ran at the University of Utah, and then we transferred to Utah State in Fall 2005 because the U of U dropped their Men's Track and Field program.

Well I decided to come out and run the Cold Turkey. After winning the 4 miler in Utah county the last couple years I wanted to try something new. Besides that some of the $ went to spiderman, and the family with a 2.5 year old child suffering from luekemia and chemo therapy. It was a great race. Nobody too competitive was pushing me besides a 16 year old named Jamal. After the race I gave the 1st overall medal to the Father of the cancer patient. I know that kid is running a lot tougher race right now, and I hoped that the medal would brighten his day. Well gotta jet.
