I'm married with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls) and live in Salt Lake City, where I work as a real estate attorney. 

Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

After a good start to last week, I missed Friday's run, then came down with some food poisoning over the weekend, so I ended up missing several days in a row.  This morning was one of the few times when I don't appreciate living in a neighborhood with streets lined by a canopy of mature trees--the snow and slush was falling all over me and I was kind of a mess by the time I made it home.  Small price to pay for the beauty the trees offer, though.

Maja is such a wimp.  If it's raining, snowing, or just generally wet outside, she won't run with me.  Considering how much she loves running, it's a testament to how afraid of water the poor dog really is!

Forgot to set my alarm last night, so I brought my gear with me to work and ran home from my client's office in Cottonwood Heights.  I wish the temperature could stay like this all summer--perfect for running.  Everything seems to be feeling good at the moment--it's rare that I notice any AT pain these days.  Knock on wood!

The advantage of running home is that I can't blow off my run the next morning.  I ran back to the client's office and drove home in time to shower and get to my office.  Should have worn gloves, as my fingers were numb for the last 4 miles, but otherwise everything felt great.  I pushed it a little on the way home last night, which is all uphill, so I relaxed today.  I thought I would be more stiff after having run 9 less than 12 hours earlier, but it felt great.
