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.

Easy long run - 26 miles - ~700' vert - ~3:40 Didn't ever stop my watch, and I was taking it easy, stopped a bunch to eat, take off clothes, just taking it really easy and enjoying being out running all morning -

Ran from South Teller farm entrance off Arapahoe, to boulder res, around once, back and forth once with George Zack during his 100 miler, ran with Dave Blaylock a bit who was my home teacher growing up, he was randomly out here from Utah doing the 100 miler also at age 68, what a stud. Then I ran back on 51st, jay road, trails over to arapahoe and had Nan come get me since I didn't want to run 31 miles for the day all that badly.

It was pretty random that the one time I decided to run around Boulder res for the year, they happened to be doing the 100 miler around it. And so it was cool to be able to run part of the first loop with George and Dave.

Such a beautiful fall day for a run. Absolutely gorgeous sunrise over Teller farms.

Nice long run, sounds like it was just beautiful. And to see so many people, that's awesome.
