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!

Mueller Park run with a couple brothers and cousin. Tons of bikes and dogs out there tonight. Ran fairly well to the top, casual most of the way down until some crosfitters who had gone up halfway came barreling past us, so I couldn't just let them blow by like that! :) Gave me something to chase, so me and my brother turned it on for the last mile or so. Came in 1:01 which I was happy with considering we really ran the first 2 miles of the downhill really slow.

Staircase Thursday:

- Tabata air squats (8 reps of 20 sec on, 10 sec rest)

-10 min of stairs

I made it to the top of our 15 stories for my 3rd time when the time ran out. Not a long workout, but on the limited time I have today this is an awesome workout that really does a number on your legs in a short amount of time. You can substitute air squats for just about anything (lunges, push-ups, kettle bell swings etc) to mix it up.
