Age is just a number.

AM-10 miles total. 2 miles with Aaron to warm up. Talk about a fast warm up.. He was under 7:30 pace for the last half mile!  Not bad for a 7 year old kid with no regular and consistent training. The greatest thing about it though is to see the excitement and wild eyed look he has when he runs..

PM-4 miles ez on the JRP. 7:00-7:30/mi pace.

AM-5 miles easy on the parkway. Met a guy along the way who was 74 years young and still runs 40-50 miles per week. I've seen him before but only now did I get the chance to meet and talk with him.  We had some good conversation on life and getting older as a runner. Kind of coincidental today as it was just what I needed to hear and talk about.

AM-6 miles. 7th/94th.

AM-10 miles easy-medium with 10x30 second accelerations in the middle. 94th/7th/13th east. o/b.

AM-No run. The boys and I are getting the rest of our house cleaning and packing done. Leaving for Colorado.

AM-Easy 5 miles in Cortez Colorado along the main street next to our hotel.  Felt great until the end of the run when I started to feel the 6200 ft of altitude coming up the hill..

Went out to Four Corners and spent some time not only to stand at the Four Corners monument but also to do some shopping for Christmas.. It was decided in our family that this is something different we wanted to do this year.  Not only to give something unique and precious, but also to benefit the Navajo Nation. 

AM-Easy/medium 6 miles in Cortez. Afterwards came back and had a swim in the pool along with an amazing breakfast. This is going down as one of our better trips according to the boys.  They like have having a pool right next to the room:)  Off to the ruins up the road at Mesa Verde for some exploring and tour. 

PM-No run. The ladder located in the ruins which everyone had to scale in order to get to one of the cliff sights was a bit un-nerving.  My kids scaled it like they were Army Rangers however..
