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.

Great Race!  Loved the event.  Survived the wind, and just enjoyed being out there running through the slick rock.  

Here's a brief race report and pics.  Probably more to follow later.

Nicely done Aaron! Your pacing was perfect. Maybe too good, I was needing you to blow up. Just kidding, I am glad you did well. I had a great time hanging out for the weekend. Looking forward to next time....

Seriously great job out there Aaron! You ran that smart and strong! A good season of racing is in front of you. Good to meet you, and I hope you and the fam had a good trip.

Great job Aaron! In case you are interested, here is one of the most challenging 50K races in Kansas if you are looking for something in the summer--

Thanks for the congrats everyone.

And as far as my next race, it will be an attempt to take down Cody again, only this time on his home course in June at Logan Peak.
