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.

Still recovering on sleep this morning from last weeks up at 4 -5 am routine.  felt good to sleep in until 7:30, then I just had time for an easy but very nice feeling 4 miles barefoot in the sun around my neighborhood.  Took me a couple miles to warm up, then it was over!  Running 4 miles just doesn't cut it...but it was better than nothing.

***Note to SLC area bloggers***

I'm going to be camping in little cottonwood Sunday/Monday this coming weekend...if anyone is up for a fun trail run up at Alta or somewhere else up at the top of little cottonwood bright and early monday morning July 5th, let me know!  It would be great to have some company and maybe run a peak or two around sunrise.

Sir, please count me in for the Alta Loop. Plan to summit a peak in the process. This is a run I do several times a summer. Ok, only one summer because I haven't been running long enough to have multiple.

Let's not go too early though. I have to do flags with the scouts Monday morning.

awesome. we're on. I think I can go pretty much any time that morning, probably the earlier the better, but no set timeline really. Just let me know when you think you can make it up there.
