I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- 5 by myself, then 5.5 with both kids. I was supposed to go to FL later today for work, but they decided this morning to push it back to later this week.

PM- Trail run with Cody. Hot in town (90+ deg) but a bit cooler in the mountains, plus lots of the run was in the bottom of shady, cool canyons. We did Rick's Canyon to Steel Hollow- medium effort up to the top, then really pushed it most of the way down Steel, which is a blast to run down. Some of the miles coming down were sub-6:00, with stretches as fast as 5:15-ish- pretty darn fast supposing it is technical downhill. We slowed up a bit after Cody got stung by a wasp- he was a good sport, and we admired the swelling on the drive home. 1:41:00 for about 12 miles, with 2200 ft climb and descent.

By the way, Cody, I have that we ran this together July 30, 2007- so 2 years ago! And it took us 1:43:30. Definitely does not seem that long ago.

Trailrunner magazine just posted a video on facebook about their hill climb challenge. Didn't you win that? I thought I'd see you on there, but they didn't appear to put you on the vid. What's the deal?

No, I won a little one put on by NordicTrack as part of WBR. The magazine one is much bigger and much, much more competitive- I wouldn't have a prayer at that one.

Nice runs. Glad you were able to stay in town with the family a few more days. Nice mileage last week. Has to be nice to see the three digits.

Isn't that weird how you can totally remember all these details of a run that took place years ago... I do that all the time.
