Personal:

I'm a happily married guy with a 5 year old son. I started running on February 1st, 2010 with the goal of completing a triathlon (my one and only "official" race prior to that was the "Centerville half mile fun run" when I was about 8) In that following year I lost nearly 50 lbs, completed the triathlon, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, bike races, and really started to lean towards running over the other two (though I still cross train with both).

I grew up hiking and riding horses in the mountains, so I've been drawn to take my running to the trails - and haven't looked back! I run them every chance I get, which is about 90% of the time!

Backside of the Bo-Sho marathon course with MVH and Andrea. Starting from City Creek, up to Ensign Peak (slight detour - I had never been) then up to the towers, where we took a right when we should have gone straight. Met back up with the right trail just in time for the bombing downhill. Other then the very start and finish couple miles on the BST, I had never been on these trails.

St George - started at the Chuckwalla TH, took the Beck hill trail around till it meets up with Paradise Rim trail, hit that over past Scout Cave to Snow Canyon. Text my brother in law to see if he wanted to join me for the last 5 miles once I got back to this point to head back. Started up the canyon, but then was told that it was $4 to walk in...I didn't have any cash on me, so rather that hitch a ride with someone through the gate, I just started heading down the road and shortly came across a trail (Turtle...something or other) than took me along behind some houses, crossing the Tuacan road and out through the desert. Once my brother in law said he was on his way, I headed back towards the Snow Canyon TH and met up with them at about 9 miles in. Took the same basic route back this time sticking closer to the rim rather than taking Beck hill. I had intended to stay on the Turtle wall trail, but ended up making a bigger loop on the Gecko and Gap trail, before meeting back up on Chuckwalla and climbing to the end. Perfect way to start the day!

Having dinner with my bro/sis in law, so I just decided to meet my wife at their house. Couple miles of road followed by several on the Layton Rail trail. Just tried to keep the pace consistent and under 8 min/miles. Actually listened to music! :)

Flag Rock backwards loop with MVH and Warlordblade. Did a little tour of Patsys mine as well. Weather wasn't too shabby.

Famington Canyon with MVH - did a little mining while we were at it. So nice to run that canyon with no snow!
