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.

OK, I didn’t run a step of those 4 miles.  But since my miles are so pathetically light lately, I need to do something to make myself feel better, and I was legitimately on my feet on the same terrain as the steamboat 50, and I’m sure hiking is going to be a large part of my game plan come 11 days from now…SO I’M COUNTING IT!

Did a 4 mile hike with all 3 of my kids today, my 2 year old on my back, the other 2 hiking.  We did it in 2:05 of hiking time, all leisurely of course, and about 1200 feet of ascent.

Nice job getting out with the kids. Those are some of the best days in the hills.

Congrats to Nan. Awesome!
