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!

Farmington Canyon with MVH, Twinkies, my brother and a couple of others. Met dark and early at 5:30 and just took a nice easy pace up and up and up. The three of us Matts kind of pulled ahead a little, and then a few miles up (I think around 3) Twinkies split off and headed back down, so MVH and I just plodded on up ahead. Got to 5 miles, made a U turn and headed down, with the others turning when we got to them. Passed a couple of entrail piles from what I would assume was from poachers cleaning their kill and dragging it out on a sled. Left 'em right in the middle of the road. I'm sure some mountain lion will enjoy that once it thaws a little. Good morning.

It was good to run with you again. Sounds like I turned around just before you figured out where all that blood was coming from. Thanks for the fun.
