I'm from good ol' Hurricane, UT, but I currently live in Glendale, AZ where I am attending medical school at Midwestern University.  I am married with 1 kid at the moment.  I love to run, and despise treadmills, but here they are currently a necessity.

Today's run was quite nice.  I ran down Logan canyon and had my wife give me water at Miles 5, 7.5, and 10.  I don't think I had enough in me before I started though.  I almost didn't make it through the first 5 miles.  Once I hit that point, I found my stride and just kept going.  I did it in good time.  The entire run took me 92 minutes, and that was including the short stops to drink water and talk with my wife.  I know I averaged right on 9:00/mile for the first five, and it looks like pretty close to that for the rest.

Right ankle was sore before, and my right knee is sore now.  Probably I was compensating when I ran, but it was a great run overall.

Solid run buddy! First double digit run, yes?

Yeah it was. It felt great. I'm excited to finally be getting up there in my miles.
