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!

Easy run on the treadmill.  Nice to get some miles in the legs after falling off the wagon last week.

Easy 4 spot in the state park.  First trip outside in a couple weeks I think.  It's interesting to see the discrepancy in pace/effort outside vs. on the treadmill.  A ~9:00 pace outside (while slipping and sliding on ice) feels easier than a ~9:30 pace on the treadmill.  I wonder if the thing is calibrated wrong or if it's just the hampster wheel effect messing with my head.  If nothing else, I'll just be faster than I think I am!

Did a few loops around SHP in the smoggy gook with the track club.  Felt surpisingly good.  Glad I dragged myself down there and that the impending snowpocalypse held off for us.
