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.

Did I mention anything yet about kind of digging where we live now?

Its really hard to force myself to turn around and go home this week living in Boulder I've found.  8.5 miles is just barely scratching the surface of the perfect trails that are luring me farther along.  I squeaked out every ounce of time I had this morning exploring new trails, and ran partially up the ampitheater rock trail to green mt. before admitting to myself that I had to turn around in order to be home by 9:30 to meet my bookkeeper.

I ran up to the house precisely as she was pulling up, so it was good timing.  Probably good that I had an engagement to be home for or I likely would have blown off half the work day just continuing on into the mountains.

8.75 miles -  1:25 - 9:47 pace - 1850' vert - HR: 136 avg - Another easy effort day thoroughly loving the incredible November weather of sunny 45 degrees and dry trails.

It sounds like you're in the area where Anton Krupicka dwells. Any sightings?
