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.
Haven't been running yet this week, kind of busy, and fine with recovering from a big weekend.
Just been doing p90X in the mornings this week, it feels good.
My legs felt completely recovered and fine yesterday. I'm looking forward to a nice mountain early tomorrow morning though...I'm going to get out and see if I can be running at 5:32 when the sun comes up....wow, its an early sunrise around here already.
Oh, and here's a quick video of the Dirty Thirty last weekend...I think I"m hooked...I signed up for another 50K next month. As you can see, there was a lot of walking going on the first mile or two of this race. Next time I'm going to start in the front and see if I can get more running in...I took it super conservatively and started at the very back for my first 50K. I'm glad I did, but I'm going to step it up a notch or two next time.

Nice video; that looks like a really fun race. Next time, I'm sure you'll blaze a PR...
...and yeah, trail ultras are most definitely addictive...

Thanks...In the next 50K I do I'm pretty sure it will be a bunch faster since it has only 4500 ft of climbing vs. the 9000+ this one had. I'm looking forward to being able to run a lot more of it.

Nice video Aaron. Good to see you already recovered after a tough race.
