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 8 miles around the Standley lake.  8:00/mile avg - no heart rate or watch, just checked the clock before and after.  My mind was reminiscing on the weekend and caught up in thoughts of how cool its going to be to go to the trials with Nan and other stuff, so I never got around to turning my music on.  It was a nice morning run in the beautiful crisp fall sunrise.  It has been an exceptional fall so far.

Euphoric.

You guys must be on cloud 9. I'm so happy for you.

Likewise for you jun! You did amazing Friday/Saturday. I'm guessing that gives you a huge mental shift in your view of your capabilities right? It's awesome to see where you've come in a year...from being IT band injured doing 50 last year, to nailing the 100 this year with no injury. That's so cool.

Thanks man. How many times have we talked about that; form and fueling?

Knowledge is everything in endurance running. If you do it right and understand how the body works you can pull off just about anything. I'm really look forward to what I can try in the future. I'll certainly go into future runs with a renewed confidence, that's for sure.
