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!

Little Cottonwood Canyon Trail with Jun. Ran this 5 mile out and back twice with Jun. You gain about 850 feet of vert in the 2.5 miles up, then turn around and fly back. Pretty rocky, but a beautiful trail, especially this time of year as the leaves are changing. Jun charged ahead as usual, getting about 4 minutes ahead overall. I pushed the first downhill hard, like I wasn't going to have to run it again. Once we went out for a second round I actually felt better, just a little slower than the first loop. Ended up 3 minutes slower on the second lap over the first - which I was acutally pretty happy with. Was still able to pull a few 7 min miles in there.

1:32 - 9:15 pace - 1720 vert.

Good fun. Whereto today? I hate the wind. We need to find a sheltered 1 mile loop and just do laps.
