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!

Had to get a run in while the weather was still nice! Ran the west side BST in City Creek, took it nice and easy and just enjoyed the trail. Achilles felt fine, sciatic is good, knee still a little tender-mostly afterwards, but almost normal. This was my first time on this trail - I always knew it was there, but wasn't sure how far you could take it - thanks to MrK for running it and reminding me that it's still there. I liked it a lot, definitely one you could run fast if you wanted to push it.

Hey man call me next time, I'm only 10 minutes away and I might have joined you. Good to see you back out again.

I know! I don't know why I didn't even think of it!

I think that trail is a great for speed training or for a nice easy run.

FYI I am also right down town and would be more than happy to join you on a run with a little advanced notice.

Are you talking about the trail that goes up City Creek or the part that turns off and heads up towards Ensign? How far did you run up (not miles)?
