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!

45 minutes easy on the treadmill while watching Troy.  Nothing like some good old-fashioned battle scenes to get a person fired up!

Took advantage of the day off work and headed down to the park city rail trail for one hour at easyish/steadyish pace.  The last couple miles were a little bit of a grind, but I still managed a ~30 sec. negative split and tacked on at the end for the full hour.  Hope to keep up these solid effort medium distance runs with more regularity.

Easy fivers at Bear River.  First mile w/ Andrea, then 4 more for good measure.  Alas, no moose out on the trails today.

Easy run off WY 150 past Sulphur Creek Reservoir.  It was cold & windy and my head wasn't really into it.  Ended up stopping earlier than planned.  Pretty nice up there, apart from the weather though.  I'll have to work that route into the rotation more often.
