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!

Bear River.  Lots of Memorial Day BBQ-goers out, most of whom were probably horrified by that shirtless guy in running shorts.  Nothing like summer running in small town Wyoming.

Limited time on my hands, so I decided just to do a balls-out mile for fun.  My uneducated guess was ~6:40 and ended up with 6:36, so not bad.   Probably my first sub 7 since college, which is kind of depressing.  Needless to say, it hurt. I wonder what the altitude conversion is :)

1 up, 1 down.

Easy 10 spot up 89 through Almy and back.  Was briefly interrupted as I was held hostage by a cow who refused to move from the middle of the road and kept rearing back like he was going to charge at me.  Finally someone with more wheels + horespower than me came by and scared him off.   Otherwise a nice morning for a run (it's worth noting that autocorrect keeps conveniently changing that to 'rum'. Hard to ignore the subliminal messages! )
