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!

Quick run, then off to Ogden to get my car serviced and bum around Utah for the day. 

Looking forward to seeing this in Salt Lake tonight!........

This was last weekend, but it was fun! :) The runner & producer were there for a Q&A, which was pretty neat.

I think I'd die from excitement if I spent my day at Saltair. Turns out its history is pretty interesting though.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltair_(Utah)

Apparently it's where young courtin' Mormon folk used to go to have all their fun! Too bad I didn't know about this when I was dating my wife. She would've realized even sooner what a winner she had!
