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!

8 miles with Jun to View Benchmark via Ann's trail. Very nice casual climb - a little muddy in spots, but not terrible. Couple little grunters near the top of Anns that Craig gained some ground on me. Felt much better running the dirt up towards the 'summit' and we ran the whole thing, which I'm not sure if I've done before. It was very nice on top of View Benchmark, not too windy and really sunny, great views of Timp, Lone Peak and both Salt Lake and Utah Valleys. Coming down was pretty speedy, Craig gained some ground on the connector trail down to Ann's, but I caught back up and we ran out the rest together. Craig was really low on energy, but still kept the pace pretty solid the whole way.
