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!

45 minutes at the rec.  Felt much easier than saturday....if I can master the mental game of aimlessly running in circles, I can do anything!

More laps at the rec.  Didn't have my music today, which always makes it challenging, but I still made it through 50+ minutes.  New treadmill arrives tomorrow!

just over 5 miles with 2x3 minutes at threshold again.  Was hoping to do it all at once, but was gassed halfway through and needed a couple minutes of recovery.  Still nice to get some fast running in my legs though.  It was also the first run on my new treadmill, which will probably take some getting used to.

7.2 on the Porter Rockwell trail in Sandy with the track club.  We had a nice group going that made the time fly by super quickly.  I hadn't run on this trail before and wasn't sure if I would like the quarter mile marks or if they would drive me crazy, but they ended up being pretty nice.  Always feels like you're making progress!
