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!

Got a friend at work that's looking for a couple of people that want to join his Ragnar team - anyone interested, let me know. 

Since I know Jun doesn't want to I don't think I'll get any responses. :)

I assume that's a crack about no one commenting on your blog.

And you are correct.

BTW, I think I will be running an experiment of sorts on this site in the next week or so. Should be interesting.

From Lulu Walls on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 11:49:30 from 155.100.212.98

I would totally do it. If I could run that is :)

From Dorsimus on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 11:49:46 from 209.23.248.163

Yes sir, you are correct. Glad you caught it. Lulu, I should have included you too since I know you'd want to but can't! ;)

From Lulu Walls on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 12:04:26 from 155.100.212.98

Actually even if I could, I am not sure I would want to :)

I am curious of this experiment so I will be tuned in for sure.

Good point - if I wasn't running with my whole family in it this year I wouldn't either! :)

From jsh on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 14:37:23 from 63.253.43.114

I told myself I wouldn't run it again after last year. Just not enough bang for the buck.

Also interested to hear about this experiment.

From Dorsimus on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 14:40:27 from 209.23.248.163

I don't know Josh, from the sound of it you probably got more miles per dollar than anybody! :) Ha ha.

Like Jun and I have said - if you took that same amount of money and put it towards an adventure run with friends, you could go to plenty of sweet places (and run further in MUCH less time!)

From jsh on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 at 14:42:14 from 63.253.43.114

Yeah, I ended up paying something like $350 for 42 miles :/ Seriously, what a joke! That could pay for like 6 or 7 adventure runs.
