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!

6 miles of hiking in yellowstone. Got stuck in a bison jam and saw two grizzlies play-fighting (at least I think it was playing)

4 easy peasy in Livingston MT. I guess technically I could call it a tempo run since it was 1:30 faster than half marathon pace :p.   

Legs a little sore, but overall ok. 

PM - 3 miles of hiking in Coeur d'lene ID. Get around round round I get around!

Easy hour in Eugene, OR.  Of course I tried to get onto Hayward Field first, but it was locked up, so I ran on Pre's Trail & local bike paths instead.  I suppose it was an acceptable backup :)  Go Ducks!

On to California today, then we get to stop driving for awhile.

local trails in pleasanton, CA (Andrea's hometown).  Nice to be staying one place for more than a day at this point.
