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.

Pretty epic point to point run this afternoon.  I'll post pics and more later...but I just went out running for 15 miles planned on an out and back, but couldn't resist the urge to explore a new peak I had never been too once I got out there.  Don't even know what peak it was, but it was at 8350' and 11 miles away from my house.  I descended the other side of the peak and called Nan half way down to come pick me up since I was now 20+ miles away from home and didn't want to run all the way home into the evening so much.

In the morning I rode my bike for about 20 miles, the last half of which was supporting Nan on her 20 mile long run. 

15.3 Miles - 2:48:00 - 10:59 avg - 4050' ascent - 3000' descent

 Weekly Summary:  50.85 Miles - 8 hrs 18 min - 8500' vertical.

Looks like a good run to end a good week.

Aaron- I got some of these new hoka stilt shoes as a gift from someone. Do you dare me to try running in them?

FG - yeah, i like weeks/runs like that. You had a pretty epic day yourself! Way to gut it out on Saturday...I also hope your knee forgives you!

Scott - I'm the wrong guy to ask, you know that! I can say that those shoes would probably last you a good eight or nine years though, which could be a plus. Since you are known to wear your shoes until your socks are showing through the soles, that could possibly be the last pair you ever need!
