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 30 minutes on the treadmill since it decided to go ahead and be in the mid-teens in wyoming this morning.  Just getting over a nasty chest cold and can finally walk across a room without hacking up a lung.  Running is still another story....

Flying back to new england tomorrow for spring break, so at least I'll have some nice sea level oxygen to work with!

Some glorious sea level miles on a pretty rail trail in western mass.  Felt pretty great for having spent a week plus hacking up most of my internal organs.

Only had time for a quick run before we had to check out....did a short out n' back along the Charles River and later crashed the Boston Marathon Expo.   Great stuff and got to hear from notables such as Bart Yasso, race director Dave McGillvary and the Hoyts.  I can only tolerate being wall-to-wall with people for so long though, thus we made it brief.

Also did ~4 miles of walking around the city in the afternoon.
