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.

Easy 10.5-11 miles on the trails. Skunk, Koehler, Mesa, etc. 1700' vert. 1:52

Ran into Caballo blanco in Skunk Canyon and ran with him for about an hour or so. Had an enjoyable conversation, and slow easy running. Then I realized I should get moving because I was supposed to be home at 8, so I ran a more steady pace the last 20-25 minutes.

Was going to be out for 90 minutes, but it ended up being almost 2 hours with the leisurely hour plus in the middle. Did 8 x 8 second hill sprints up the steepest part of the mesa in the middle.

Boulder seems like an incredible place for impromptu runs with the ultra running legends. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah, I never know who im going to run into, but I quite often bump into interesting people to run with that's for sure.
