Finally started learning how to run in '09 after totally botching it up for the 14 years prior and dealing with chronic IT injury...have had zero IT band pain since fall of '09 and have run way more than ever before in my life...loving it.

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.
Another great day in Crested Butte and Gunnison. As great as yesterday was today rivaled it for sure.
We woke up and ran first thing in the morning. Nan did an intense workout of 1000m repeats and I did a fun hour long loop on a trail down into town and back up to the hotel. I met her on the trail on part of the run and tried to keep up with her in her 5:35 pace for 1000m and I was not hacking it. I stuck with her about 500 m and then I was back to my leisurely 7:30 pace. Then I hit the uphill again and it was 10-11 min pace. Splits for this run: 10:40, 7:52, 7:25, 7:10, 10:01, 10:03, 9:59 - 8:59 avg - exactly 1 hour - 1000 Ft down then 1000 Ft up.
After running we cooked up a delicious breakfast, did Yoga until about noon and then took a nap.
Then we went to Gunnison and hit up an AMAZING mountain biking/trail running scene at Hartman Rocks. We road our bikes and the single track was simply awesome. Here's a quick video...

Hahaha. Awesome video. Way to throw your wife under the bus with the repeats of her crashing. Scars are cool!
