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.

Just did a quick mt. bike ride close to home today, not feeling like doing anything today, but it felt good to get out and move around, and the new bike is super fun.

Here's a short video from Kings peak last week before my phone died at mile 20.

Hahaha, that thing is awesome. Cow bell is being shipped today or tomorrow (I totally spaced it over the weekend).

Wow. That's enough to make a person jealous. If I'm ever back Utah-way I'd love to get in on that marathon.

Uhhhh, new bike? did you get to keep the sweet ride from Leadville?

thansk jun and scott

jess1 - you're welcome for making you jealous...you would love that marathon. Its way cooler than any road marathon.

Bryce - I got a pretty sweet new Fuji outlander 29er in june, but I sent it back because it was a bit too small for me. I got a new larger size 21" the day before leadville, but I rode my buddy's carbon frame for leadville. The 29er is a little heavier, but otherwise its just as nice. Got the hook up from my friend on half off retail which was pretty sweet.
