Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running.  She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once.  She is my running inspiration.  I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

That was nice!  Felt so great to be out running again.  There were huge winds in the valley but running on the Mesa Trail in the foothills of the front range there was hardly any wind and it was an epic sunny afternoon.

That is a fantastic trail.  It climbs about 900 FT in the first 2 miles from 5600 to 6500 FT, so its steady climbing but not insanely steep.  Then the trail rolls up and down along the foothills at about 6500 FT.   

My foot is a little sore from the work done on it yesterday, but didn't hurt while I was running.  I'm going to roll it with a tennis ball and ice it now per doctors orders.

Good to hear you got out running! Glad to hear it was on the trails! Sounds like a great day.

Yeah...doctors orders. I couldn't refuse them! Although he told me to not run more than 6 and I had a really hard time turning around at 3 miles...finally forced myself at 3.25.

Wow - beautiful run. That's the way a person should get exercise. I'm glad the foot is allowing you to stay on the trails.
