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!

Nice run along the Hudson River.  Lungs were great, legs felt trashed, which is the opposite of how it often goes back home at altitude.  Spending the better part of yesterday on my feet as a groomsman for my college bud and then showing everyone how it's done on the dance floor may have contributed to that.

Bear River trails.  I don't like heat.

I've been duly nominated to hang out with the 2nd grade kiddos on their field trip to the Ogden Dinosaur Park tomorrow!  When I get invited onto field trips, it's typically to corral the more colorful characters.  I wonder how many cross-training miles I'll be able to count for that...

Soggy rail trail.  Got glared at by cows.  I glared back.
