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 run around Bear River.  Nice to see the path almost completely clear.

Did a couple loops up City View.  As you might guess, a street called 'City View' has some rather adventurous climbing on it.  Got some pretty good strength work in which will hopefully help for next week's Moab adventure, on the confidence front at least.

Easy run in bear river.  First 2 miles on the main path w/ Andrea, then broke off to see how the dirt trails were faring...the answer was just a wee bit muddy.  Sloshed around a bit, then came back.   Dealing with a frozen GPS, but estimated it to be just short of 6.

Did some loops in Bear River with a couple mile pickups thrown in.  Relatively mild out, but pretty windy.  7:15-7:34 for the fast miles.

Elevensies on the park city rail trail.  Definitely a grind, especially in the second half.  My fueling was fine, but I always struggle mentally with these solo longer runs.  I think I need a better attention span.  The obvious highlight was the cow that made eye contact and then turned around and took a dump in front of me.  Somehow it summed up the day pretty well.
