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!

Ran up City Creek with Jun after we strolled around the marathon expo, running into Kelli and Scott, as well as Craigs friend Jason. Cruiser of a run at a relaxed pace, just enjoyed the perfect weather. Haven't done a purely road run for quite some time. The Altras didn't disappoint.

Thats what we have heard, but we looked and looked and couldn't find any - though Craig did point out a tree that he saw one in once. Honestly I think I was a little more afraid of some of the people we saw than I would be of a mountain lion. :)

TRUE, I love that run, but I get VERY scared if I do not have my bodyguard with me. I ran it with 2 girls once and I was terrified the entire time.

Craig WANTS a mountain lion so bad, you will probably never see one. I will be the lucky one.
