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!

As I told Jun, I like "the day after running a 50K Craig". That puts him just at about my level! Ha. 

Even though the boys had run around Lake Mountain yesterday, Craig still showed up to work ready to go and hit View Benchmark. We also invited a friend from work to tag along. We kept it super casual and just had a good time. It was cold enough as we started, but as we got higher and more exposed the wind really picked up and was REALLY cold. At the top we spent just a couple of minutes and then blasted down - it was FREEZING. Like painfully cold on your face. Luckily it didn't last too long and we had a fun time just crashing down the sketchy terrain. Casual run back to the car, followed by a stop at Little Caesars for a nice recovery Pizza.

We are all sorts of awesome.

Sounds like a blast, minus the cold freezing your face off.

For some reason I have lucked out on my recent trips of VB. That peak is usually so windy, but I can't remember the last time it was blowing up there. Nice fellas.

Even after a 32 miler Jun would still kick my butt! I wish I really did have man calves since they apparently look like them! My face froze at the mouth of Little Cottonwood today around noon. I can't imagine the top of a mountain. It was a cold one today....but so pretty!

Nice run in the snow and up a mountain and back! I'd say you have a runners body!

New on the menu at Little Ceasar's: Recovery Pizza Pizza. With protein paste, testosteronis, Hammer Gel sprinkles, layer of potato chips, and chocolate milk cheese. Nummy.
