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!

Met up with the Farmington crew this morning to run up Farmington Canyon. About 5 of us started, and MVH and I ran along at a decent clip with one other guy,Casey, until VH needed his morning pit stop and peeled off. The two of us continued on until Casey decided to turn around at mile 3. Well, I was now a ways ahead of everyone and all alone, so I decided to take a pit stop of my own, and then waited a few minutes for VH and Steve to catch up. We ran a little ways and then I heard a Tarzan call coming from across the canyon and a little behind us. I figured it had to be Aaron, and it turned out it was - he had started a little late and he had forgotten his light again! Sneaky Ninja! We waited for him and then all ran to the turnaround at 5 miles.

Coming down we ended up moving at a pretty good clip, I think everyone was just trying to keep up with someone else, so the pace was pretty fast, but it really felt pretty good. There were a couple of spots where the light was so flat that you couldn't see any depth and made it pretty interesting. We strung out a little at the end and had a good time finishing it all up.

Ave Twins with Jun, Scott and a speedy OR visitor feller named Brian. Felt super slow going up, and just fine and speedy coming down. Our jackets were covered in ice by the time we finished, as were our cars. Luckily though, we started early enough to miss all of the traffic nastiness created by all of the ice.  Warm.
