Personal:

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!

Impressive race schedule...ultraman!

I'll probably throw in a few shorter races, too, but these are my primary races.

i might give that bighorn race a 10% chance. :)

Why is that?

hope you signed up for the 50. 1st day of signups was yesterday and it filled up in a day last year. you probably already know that. anyway great schedule, happy running.

oh and the antelope island 50k is a great one even though you run the same loop twice. I am running it again.

Great looking schedule. Good luck with Rocky Raccoon. I can't get enough running in that early to warrant going there. Guess I'd better put together my race schedule. I was thinking Bighorn as well and always do Logan Peak. I'll be at Windy Pass (Squaw Peak) helping out like usual. Definitely doing Speedgoat as well. Definitely sign up for the Buffalo Run. We need some top notch runners there. I always have a good time at it and I don't even run the thing.

Julie- I decided on Poky rather than Squaw.

Jim- This high mileage in the winter is already getting to me and I still have 9 weeks till Rocky. But I really wanted an easy hundred first, and it fit the bill. I guess I'll see you at Bighorn or Logan (I won't do both), plus the Buffalo Run. Cody should do one at the Buffalo, too.

Where's your July 24th Des 10K? I know you are now a trail runner but no road at all?
