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.

Really leisurely cruise up skunk canyon trail and down front of NCAR.  Finally got an inch or two of snow here in Boulder.  Trails weren't really slick at the slow pace I was going though.

6 miles - 1:02 - 10:32 avg - 1100' vertical

Carpooling up to the chubby cheeks 50k with Tim long tomorrow morning, looking forward to a fun long run and meeting some new people.

Did I just see you in a pic from the El Chubbo Grande? I saw a finishing time of 4:47, but there was something illegible written in parentheses next to it. Wait, did you run the marathon? I'm looking at the results page (hand written) and I see 4 categories. So you came in 2nd? Details sir.

Yeah...Tim Long and I were first and second in the marathon, we got there late so we didn't do the whole 50K, but we accidentally cut the course short a couple miles, so I did about 24.5 and he did about 24. And those times were pretty soft because they include a bunch of stopped time chatting and looking at maps, and taking pics on peaks etc. I felt great all day...it was a super fun time.
