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!

Some tightness in the hammies, but overall a lot better than I expected to feel after WB.

6 miles w/ 6x30sec pickups.  The legs definitely aren't very snappy at the moment.  Time to work some track workouts in.

Jogged 1.5 from my apartment down to the bike path for the little 4th of July fun run 5k in our town. Not much of a running scene up here, so I try to support the local events when I can.  Did the first mile at about typical 5k pace, felt awful, then just shut it down and dialed back to eat pace the rest of the way. Legs still a little sluggish after Ragnar and a pretty decent (for me) volume week. Getting the miles in was the main thing today anyway.  

 

Bees game + fireworks tonight. Happy 4th everyone!

Nice trail run up at Solitude.  This is a weekly trail series starting at Corner Canyon in April and then moving to the ski resorts during the summer.  Breathtaking course - in every possible sense of the word.  I promise I worked very hard for that 45 minutes.   I went to a couple of these races last year, but this was my first of the season.  These guys do a great job - decent turnouts, shoe demos, and pretty sweet post-race raffle.   I plan on doing as many of these as fits into my schedule through the rest of the summer.  Snowbird next week! 

You know any race where chairlifts are present is bound to be a little interesting....

Trail trotting in the High Uintas.  A little 2-mile-high jaunt is always good for the soul - provided the lungs don't explode first.
