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!

4 sluggish mile w/ co-worker friend after work.  Felt pretty crappy....I blame late lunch, wind, hills, and you know, the obligatory mid-May snowfall in Wyoming.

I told some of the kids I work with that I'm thinking of running another marathon.  Some of the questions I got in response...

"Are you gonna win?"

"What are you gonna do if you get beat by a fast Jamaiican guy?"

"How long does that take? 10 hours?"

I've always known that having kids guess your age can be pretty depressing.  Apparently the same goes for race times.

Got some soggy, muddy miles in on the Park City Rail Trail.   It also hailed on me for about 10-15 minutes, which made it extra special.   Turend around a bit earlier than planned due to part of the trail being ripped up from construction.  Was then briefly rerouted due to an unfenced angry dog that decided to make its presence known, leading to me having to climb an unnecessary hill and adding to the overall grumpyness.

Saw the Garmin mileage reading when I got back to the car and decided it was a good sign that it was time to quit....
