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!

AM - Early morning saunter up the Avenue Twins with Jun. Perfect morning for a run. Started out pretty conservatively, I had a few tight places complaining here and there, including the usual foot numbness that only seems to happen on this run. Got to the top in a fairly good time, I did have to hike a short section today, but I still tried to keep it quick. Spent a good ten minutes on top it was just so nice out. 

Once we headed back down we moved at a quick but comfortable pace, then Jun took the lead and turned up the speed a little. It was a lot of fun just flying down the trail, running up all the banked turns and just having an overall good time - man, this running stuff really sucks. 8.3 miles 2000 vert

PM - Wife really wanted to run and no one wanted to go with her, so I did (because I did). My brother in law also came along, and since we were at their house in Bountiful, we hit up Mueller Park. First time I've ever ran the trail NOT in the winter - where'd all this green stuff come from? and the people? :) Awesome weather, VERY casual pace. 3.1 miles, 800 vert.

Seriously, I hate running. What a waste of time.

Jun running fast downhill on the trails? No way. I'm jealous. Nice work boys.
