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!

Running Miles	Swimming Yards	Bike Miles
10.60	0.00	9.00

10.6 on Dimple Dell with Craig. We just suited up and headed out, and a couple miles in I said "So, umm, how far are we going?". We had no plan, just figured we'd run until we decided to turn around. Got to the the usual turn around at the top and headed back down, taking one of the lower trails that I hadn't ever been on, which I liked. Felt really sluggish and tired today, probably because I hadn't really eaten much before running. Kept a pretty consistent pace the entire time, so that's good.

The weather was great, but I started to get really hot and just started shedding layers till I was down to shorts and shoes! Oh yeah! Felt like a pack mule with all of the said gear hanging off of my shorts. :)

10.6 miles - 1:38:00 - 9:14 pace - 883 vert

Did a quick 9 miles on the trainer while my wife ran on the treadmill. 30 mins/18mph.

Lots of trail running! Can't wait until the shirtless days are the norm. More winter coming though.
