Personal:

I'm 28 years old, originally from new england and now living in Evanston, Wyoming.  Ran competitively up through college and then did nothing for about 6 years.  Didn't like what I saw in some of my wedding/honeymoon pictures (of myself at least :) ) and make a commitment to start running regularly again just over a year ago.  It's been a tough road - especially making the jump from sea level to ~7000 ft, but I'm looking forward to see how much of my college speed/endurance I can regain!

Easy fiver while watching the Bruins be wholly uncooperative.  On the plus side, it got above 40 degrees today and my Mothers' Day snowman has melted.

My other exciting news:

 

I expect it to be an utterly unpleasant experience and can't wait!  Hoping to hit 4 hours, or at least be in a position to go out comfortably with the 4 hour group.  10 years is just too long of a break from this marathon sillyness.

Congrats! I also won the SGM lottery. Here's hoping that my back/hip issues are resolved by then so I can actually train and run this thing again. A few track club members have homes down there. Someone will host a pre-run dinner, a post-race party, and a spectator breakfast. Last year, it was just a really fun weekend.

Sweet! Yeah, it sounds like they have a good time down there. Good luck with all the physical ailments. I'm hoping to hit some of the track club long runs, so maybe I'll see you there!
