\"10k<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m a meteorologist working for the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tennessee. Before working for the NWS, I worked as an on-air broadcast meteorologist for KAMC-TV (an ABC affiliate) in Lubbock, Texas from 1996 through 1998. I’ve been with the NWS since 1998.<\/p>\n

My hobbies include – in no particular order – computer technology, photography, anything mechanical that needs fixing, and running (of course).<\/p>\n

I’m blessed to have met the love of my life, Lisa while working in Lubbock at the NWS office. We were married in January 2004. We now have 2 girls that keep us very busy. Ava and I share a birthday. She’s now 9\u00a0as of this writing. Lucianna is 7 years\u00a0old. Both of our kids are named after our grandmothers.<\/p>\n

I enjoy running and feel like keeping a log of my adventures. I am striving to become much better and have set some goals. Hopefully I can meet them by the end of 2016. (My 2011 goals were – I’d like to run a sub 40 minute 10k and run a 1:35 half marathon.) \u00a0My new goals, while in my 40s, are to run a sub 40 minute 10k and run a 1:30 half marathon – hopefully by the end of 2016.<\/p>\n

I ran my first half marathon on December 6, 2008. It was the St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon and boy was it a blast! I really enjoyed the crowd cheering the runners on and all the entertainment at each mile marker. It made the run a lot more enjoyable. I hung with the 3:55 marathon pace goup for most of the run as my goal was to run 2 hours or less. I began training for this half marathon back in September 2008.<\/p>\n

I was so jazzed after completing my first half that I decided I wanted to stick with running. I purchased the Polar S625X running computer (used from Amazon). It’s a motivator in itself because it gives me so much information while I’m running like pace, distance, time, heart rate, etc. Then when I’m done running, I download the data into my computer. How cool?! The best thing is I can log my progress over the long haul.<\/p>\n

Anyway – I hope someone finds this helpful and interesting. In addition, I’m hoping to obtain some feedback to improve my running to help meet my goals.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
