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!

Relegated to the treadmill for as much as I could tolerate, as it was super windy out even by Wyoming standards.  Normally that doesn't bother me when it's warmer out, but sometimes one has to draw the line when dust and branches and cows are flying around.  Getting impaled isn't super high on my bucket list.  On the bright side, the Bruins always seem to play well when I'm watching on the treadmill!
