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 with Jun on the BoSho from Sandy, up Canyon Hollow trail, down Ghost Falls and then back. That was my first time up Canyon Hollow, and it was a pleasure to run. I was still going slow, but it's a completely runnable trail from bottom to top. I've been eating like crap and was feeling it, had to take two way too long stops, one of which included a nearly 30 minute 'emergency' conference call at about mile 7. I felt bad for making Jun wait around, but he was a good sport. We cruised down Ghost Falls and I hung with Jun until we hit the BoSho and he took off. Cloud cover with a little rain was absolutely perfect running weather in this heat.

BairGutsman on Saturday then off to San Diego for a week. I think I may take the week off and then get back into a better training mode when I return. We'll see...
