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!

Just over an hour easy at the rec center.  Counting laps isn't my forte, but I'll call it an even 6.25.  Felt physically fine, but it's always a mental drain being in there.  Windy/blizzardy outside, so I was happy just to get it in.  Wyoming winter is trying to announce it's presence!
