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!

Took advantage of the day off work and headed down to the park city rail trail for one hour at easyish/steadyish pace.  The last couple miles were a little bit of a grind, but I still managed a ~30 sec. negative split and tacked on at the end for the full hour.  Hope to keep up these solid effort medium distance runs with more regularity.
