Never take my gifts for granted Personal: I'm 28 years old, originally from new england and now living in Evanston, Wyoming. Ran competitively up through college and then did nothing for about 6 years. Didn't like what I saw in some of my wedding/honeymoon pictures (of myself at least :) ) and make a commitment to start running regularly again just over a year ago. It's been a tough road - especially making the jump from sea level to ~7000 ft, but I'm looking forward to see how much of my college speed/endurance I can regain! Favorite Blogs: |

| Nice out n back along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail - first 3 miles of the WF100 course in my effort to systematically carve it up over the summer. Only 97 more miles till I've owned it ;)
It seems we're always going either up or down. I love that these Utah trails don't mess around!

| 4 sluggish mile w/ co-worker friend after work. Felt pretty crappy....I blame late lunch, wind, hills, and you know, the obligatory mid-May snowfall in Wyoming.
I told some of the kids I work with that I'm thinking of running another marathon. Some of the questions I got in response...
"Are you gonna win?"
"What are you gonna do if you get beat by a fast Jamaiican guy?"
"How long does that take? 10 hours?"
I've always known that having kids guess your age can be pretty depressing. Apparently the same goes for race times.

| Got some soggy, muddy miles in on the Park City Rail Trail. It also hailed on me for about 10-15 minutes, which made it extra special. Turend around a bit earlier than planned due to part of the trail being ripped up from construction. Was then briefly rerouted due to an unfenced angry dog that decided to make its presence known, leading to me having to climb an unnecessary hill and adding to the overall grumpyness.
Saw the Garmin mileage reading when I got back to the car and decided it was a good sign that it was time to quit....

| Easy fiver while watching the Bruins be wholly uncooperative. On the plus side, it got above 40 degrees today and my Mothers' Day snowman has melted.
My other exciting news:
I expect it to be an utterly unpleasant experience and can't wait! Hoping to hit 4 hours, or at least be in a position to go out comfortably with the 4 hour group. 10 years is just too long of a break from this marathon sillyness.

| Sluggish sixer on the rail trail. My legs and my lungs seem to be at two different places with respect to fitness, which is always awkward. Encountered a fellow runner with two dogs in tow, one of which followed me for a considerable distance. Apparently I was a more entertaining running partner than she was.
1 burrito
Walked 1.5 miles in the state park w/ Andrea.
Nice day out! Finished the run shirtless for the first time all year (except for Ragnar in Arizona, which hardly counts). This 2 days after crazy snow which ended up more or less closing Wyoming. I live in such a funny place.

| Slithered down to Utah for some quality time on the BST. Felt pretty meh; not used to this heat yet and the exposure didn't help. Pretty as always though.
I'm hoping to work in 1-2 trail runs per week this summer to build up some strength and because trails are generally awesome. I have pretty convenient access to the Uintas, so I'll probably spend a bunch of time there as well, especially on warmer days.

| Quick run along the Hudson in New Jersey. There appears to be more runners in this area than Wyoming upon preliminary inspection. Good luck/skill to everyone in Ogden today!

| Nice run along the Hudson River. Lungs were great, legs felt trashed, which is the opposite of how it often goes back home at altitude. Spending the better part of yesterday on my feet as a groomsman for my college bud and then showing everyone how it's done on the dance floor may have contributed to that.

| Bear River trails. I don't like heat.
I've been duly nominated to hang out with the 2nd grade kiddos on their field trip to the Ogden Dinosaur Park tomorrow! When I get invited onto field trips, it's typically to corral the more colorful characters. I wonder how many cross-training miles I'll be able to count for that...

| Bear River. Lots of Memorial Day BBQ-goers out, most of whom were probably horrified by that shirtless guy in running shorts. Nothing like summer running in small town Wyoming.

| Limited time on my hands, so I decided just to do a balls-out mile for fun. My uneducated guess was ~6:40 and ended up with 6:36, so not bad. Probably my first sub 7 since college, which is kind of depressing. Needless to say, it hurt. I wonder what the altitude conversion is :)
1 up, 1 down.

| Easy 10 spot up 89 through Almy and back. Was briefly interrupted as I was held hostage by a cow who refused to move from the middle of the road and kept rearing back like he was going to charge at me. Finally someone with more wheels + horespower than me came by and scared him off. Otherwise a nice morning for a run (it's worth noting that autocorrect keeps conveniently changing that to 'rum'. Hard to ignore the subliminal messages! )
