Life Update - New Coach, New Job & New Adventures

If there is one thing I can say, life is NOT boring! First, for the past couple months I have been working with a coach. Anyone in the trail, mountain and ultra community knows who he is. He is a legend and I am excited to learn as much as I can from him! For those who read this and don't know much about the sport just Google AJW or Andy Jones Wilkins. I have always wondered what my running potential is and I'm hoping that this will be the year I find out!

My racing schedule for the year (so far):
Okay, so the second BIG piece of news is....I accepted a new job. I'm working on a really neat project doing IT Systems Administration work for the military health system. We are providing a solution that combines Army/Navy radiology imaging into one archive so studies can be retrieved and viewed from any facility. And, just as it always happens when you start one new opportunity, others present themselves... earlier this week I received a call from the University of Colorado saying that I would be accepted into their Health Promotion Masters program this Fall. Unfortunately, I had to turn it down at this time since, I just accepted and started working at my new job. They did say they hope I decide to apply at a future date. We'll see...

And the last big update is we are still in the early processes of building a home. We bought the property and are working permits and inspections so that we can start building. I can't wait. As I mentioned before the property is up in the mountains, 8600ft...it's going to be amazing once we actually live there.
