Graduated from Weber State University and University of Utah College of Law. I'm a criminal defense attorney in Ogden, Utah. I started running in 2004 when I was 35. Up until that time I hadn't run more than a mile at any one time and it had been years since I had done that. It was getting hard to find guys my age to play basketball with and I needed something to stay active. I signed up for the five mile portion of the Canyonlands half marathon in Moab. It was in March and I started running the end of January. The week before the race I completed my first four miler and it about killed me. I finished the race the next week in just under 46 minutes but I was hooked. I've been running fairly regularly since then. |
