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!

Did an nice'n'easy 5 miles on the BST in Kaysville. Maiden voyage for my NB MT101's. They felt good, offering more protection from the rocks that my road shoes, but still maintaining a low profile. Ran through a puddle and between my socks and shoes, my foot was pretty much dry within minutes. Snowed a little on the run, and the contrast of the rocks, snow, trees and colorful leaves was gorgeous.

No run today, drove 10+ hours after work until about 2am to Spokane, WA to visit family. Hoping to find a couple of good trails while I'm up here.

Played 3 hours of basketball last night, I was feeling it but still wanted to get some kind of run in. Pulled my brother in-law along with me for a 5 mile run on the Centennial Trail in Spokane Valley. It was rainy (didn't see the sun at all while we were in Spokane), but the run was awesome. While it was a paved trail (minus points for that...), it ran next to the river with lots of pine trees and other cover. We saw a bald eagle perched on a tree, the backdrop of pines in the trees made for a great scene. A whopping 100 ft of gain at just under 2000 feet of elevation - a coupla grand less than I'm used to, my lungs didn't mind.
