Running Accomplishments:

I started running in Junior High School. I loved running cross country and PR'd my 5k with an 18:33 when I was 15. Since then running has been a pass time and not a sport with a goal, until now.

Marathon PR: St George Marathon, St George, UT, 3:15:41 (2nd marathon, 2015).

Half Marathon PR: Bryce Canyon Half Marathon, Bryce Canyon, UT, 1:32:34 (2015).

15K PR: Peachtree City Classic, Peachtree City, GA, 1:07:34 (2011)

5k PR: Cedar City, UT, 18:33 (2000).

Running long distance team relays (Top of Zion, Red Rock Relay,etc.) has become my main motivation for becoming faster.

Short-Term Running Goals:

1. Qualify for Boston with room to spare (sub 3:00:00).

2. 1:25:00 Half Marathon.

3. Sub 18:00 5k.

4. Join a running club.

Long-Term Running Goals:

1. Sub 2:40:00 Marathon.

2. 1:16:00 Half Marathon.

3. 17:00 5k.

4. Long term major injury free running.

Personal:

I'm married to an amazing woman, Tasha, who surprises me daily with her dedication to things that she loves. She enjoys running with me and it makes it so much more fun to have a training partner.

I have 2 beautiful boys who bring an incredible amount of joy to my life and I look forward to running with them when they get older.

I enjoy any type of physical activity, especially outdoors (treadmill running is one of the worst things on this planet).

A long hot, humid run in Panama. I started at 6am and then temperature was already 80 F with 89% humidity. It was so hot that I was pouring sweat like a faucet by the end of mile one. I typically don't drink much, if any, while running but it was so incredbly hot that I drank 20 ounces throughout my run. Other than the heat, the run was pretty good. I felt strong until the last few miles when I started struggling through exhaustion.

You can see by my pace how difficult that last few miles were. I ended up cutting my run 2 miles short because I was out of water and couldn't handle the heat anymore.

You and my coach have the same last name. Maybe some relation?

When a guy from Georgia says it's hot, then it's really hot.

Warbeast, who's your coach? I have a lot of family in Southern Utah.
