| Back working in Denver through this whole year. This means being on call Thursday through Monday for the next six months. Very likely I won't be able to road race at all still for a long time. On the good side I get paid to do nothing but play in the mountains four days a week.
Today was the coldest mountain run I've ever done, up to Mt Bierstadt 14,060 feet from almost I70 since the Guanella Pass is closed for winter. Then ran across the Sawtooth and over an up Mt Evans, 14,130 feet. Early, with frozen crust snow blown clean meant I could run the first peak all the way with only Yaktrax on my running shoes. Above 12,000 feet the wind was howling about 45mph a constant sandblast of ice crystals. I passed probably 7 people making the winter ascent of Bierstadt, going very slow in snowshoes. Reaching the 14,000 ridgeline I had to start layering fast to keep warm. It was so cold that taking off a glove for 30 seconds to pull on a shell numbed my hands so bad I couldn't move them.
Trying to take stock of where I am physically is very tough. Overweight at 167 which makes sense being as slow as I run, but strong enough that I didn't feel the altitude at all on this traverse. The best thing for me to do right now woudl be to cut back on the climbing and mountain time and get some speedwork in, laying off Hostess for a while. Can it be done?

| I snowshoed up to Scout Peak of the Wellsvilles. Long slog in wet or crusty snow.
It's my new years resolution to pick up my FRB posts again and start getting back into some road running.

| A Trifecta. Drove to Moab yesterday with Walter, picked up some Trek 29ers from Poison Spider Bikes and did three hours on the new "black diamond" HyMasa Trail. Pretty technical trail and Walter soon proved like most things he tries, that he picks up biking fast. Pretty hard to keep up with him after two hours actually. He took a pretty severe crash though on the descent into Kane's and I ended up taping both of his wrists up so we could hit the next part of the day; kayaking.
Kayaked down the Colorado from Potash Rd, Corona Arch trailhead in bright sunshine and 60 degrees. No way this is January. After an hour of hard paddling I was ready for the next switch and wanted to pull the kayaks out and run back. Walter wanted to paddle back though so we spent the next hour and a half paddling against the current back up. Holy $%#@. Dropped the kayaks by the Jeep and hit the Corona/Bowtie Arch trail running. Pretty cool trail, probably about four miles.
Completely wiped out about 6pm and crashed at the hotel. About nine hours as hard as we could go.

| Very boring run from my house towards Hollow Road Nibley. I have to get in some road running though or I'll run this whole year like one of those ultra trail runners, unable to shift into any gear faster than 8 minute pace but still considering myself a step above mere runners.

| Crawled out of bed early to run up Blacksmith Fork and through Left Hand Fork with Mandi. I was on call for work so this one was kind of dicey but I was pretty sure I wouldn't have a trip until afternoon. I knew this run would be a tough one for me, hard week. Plus Mandi is one of the strongest uphill runners I've ever ran with, male or female. Last year she entered the Buffalo 50 the day before and was the first female. I begged some mercy and I survived.

| Morning jog.
Skipped church and climbed 3,000 feet to the top of Willard Spire with the kids and some neighbor kids. Some low class 5 on the upper sections so we all had to be ropped together in a long chain. Pretty neat climb. Two bald eagle families and some goats.
My oldest daughter was a little concerned about missing church. I pointed out the facts that every major revelation in the bible was received on a mountain, The Gold Plates were found on a mountain, every single significant sermon in the Book of Mormon was on a mountain, mountains were often considered as holy as temples, and the word "mountain" is the third most often repeated word in the scriptures.
I'm considering sharing this with the bishop next Sunday since he has mentioned my attendance a few times.

| Long week of work fighting snowstorms from the Great Lakes to the East Coast. Single digit weather and snow everywhere. Almost no time at all for running.
Cleveland today. Cold slow run.
I read The Perfect Mile today while working and have no idea why it took so long for me to find this book. Great read and a lot to think about. One of the coolest parts was a few paragraphs about Bannister doing oxygen and fitness testing on Hillary after the Everest expedition. He was amazed the the lack of conditioning the climber had and told him it was incredible he made the mountain.

While I was gone to work my son decided to fix his gas tank leak on his car. In his mom's garage while she was gone for the weekend. He tore the car apart and she then came home a day early to find his disaster in her garage.
Good times.

| East range Wellsvilles to Scout Peak. Most folks don't know that the Wellsvilles are the steepest range in the US, so young that they have no foothills. My GPS shows a 5,000 foot climb today in 3 miles, much steeper than the Grand Canyon trails. All I know is that I am very sore from the rugged beating trying to run them.

| Last day of three running the west side of the Wellsvilles along the old Fremont indian trails. I've been dropping the kids off at school and driving over to get in 4-5 hours of canyoneering and trail time each day and heading back to pick them up at the end of the day. I've found four indian sites, two which had more recent signs, probably shoshone. Lots of pictographs. So far I have found 11 natural rock arches in the Wellsville range and none of them are visible from the valleys.

| Somehow another few months slipped by and I slacked on the blog again. a wise coach once told me that even though I'm not running I should make some blog entries so here goes.
Lost of rock climbing and exploring the past few months with the kids. Did Mt Olympus last week which should count as a run I guess. Ran up it in my fastest time yet, 1:16 which means I'm not dead yet. Read some good books at work too, 1421 and Again To Carthage. I'm usually a few months behind on books since I wait until someone gives them to me. Again To Carthage was a spot on hit to read. So many truths in that book.
My group went without me on the R2R2R this weekend. I had to work weekends as usual and couldn't get it off. Pretty bummed about that. From the Mt Olympus run I probably could have stumbled through a 50 miler. I ran the Logan River Trail today, six miles of it, and felt pretty good getting out again. Today I'm heading up Blacksmith Fork kayaking and taking the Gopro since the river is full of beaver and I want some video.

| Spring Hollow trail. Mostly a run today working through all GPX file features on my Garmin Fortrex. Steep learning curve this week learning how to download topographical maps and trail way points into it. Garmin watches just can't cut it on the longer trails and getting 15 hoirs of battery life is a serious advantage too. I'm planning on some deeper Grand Canyon running this summer and need a much better antenna also. |

| Dropped kids off at school and headed up to the canyon to the rv for some mountain time. Just about finished sewing a new skirt for the kayak. Last Spring I swamped twice trying to run the lower river, mostly because I couldn't roll the kayak without water getting in. Also the fact that it was a first date with an "expert" woman kayaker who was utterly destroyed by the river and lost one of my kayaks when it was torn away by the river.. Couple that up with my fumbling in a kayak and it was quite an adventure. She never did go out with me again. I ran Gueneva up Spring Hollow in the morning for an easy 8 miles. Late afternoon I headed back for the same trail. Best experience of the week. When I reached the trailhead there were two mountain bikers gearing up. One of them held his hand out for me to stop. He says, we are going for a Strava record up and down. If you don't mind, could you wait so we don't have to get around you passing on the way up? Sure. But in my heart I smiled. Anyone with a lick of time on steep singletrack knows that a trail runner will climb much faster than a biker, even fat and out of shape like me. I let them go for five minutes and ran right by them in a mile and a half. :-) |

Crossed Moapa Indian Reservation from highway 167 through the Valley of Fire to Lake Mead. Sweet desert run, 101 degrees today. Didn't run on a single trail. I used GPX waypoint data for the first time. Had a nice chat with a ranger in the backcountry today too. |

| Had my eye on running a part of this canyon for some time now, Palo Duro, Amarillo, TX. Hauling a boat from Oklahoma City to Logan in a few days so there are a few places to check out. Second biggest canyon in America according to a ranger here, but there are a lot of ways to measure that. Hells Canyon Idaho is the deepest for instance. Anyways, awesome run. I did Lighthouse trail and a few short stubbs. I'll be back. |

Not a race but another Grand Canyon run.
This is a long write up but FRB is kind of a running diary of sorts for me so I want to get a few details while it’s fresh on my mind. I wanted a different R2R2R experience than the main corridor and the chance to see some new Grand Canyon territory. This run took a considerable amount of research and planning. A R2R2R using the North and South Bass trails instead of the main trail corridor. This would require a fully self- supported run; no visitor centers at either end, no food or water except what you find, and no bridge at the bottomto cross the Colorado River. You have to swim it. With temperatures above 100F in the canyon floor and running solo I wouldn't be able to make many mistakes. This weekend I ended up having a few days off without the kids and pulled everything together Friday morning for a shot at it. Friday night I did some easy running out of Jacob Lake while talking with the rangers about how to get to the trailhead and trail conditions. The road map of dirt fire roads north of the North Rim is one of the most complicated things I have ever seen, literally hundreds of roads. To get to Swamp Point, North Rim, the trailhead of the North Bass Trail you have to drive 19 miles of 4X4 roads with 7 intersections that takes over two hours to drive from Highway 6. The first adventure is just finding it. I finally reached the North Rim about 10pm and parked the Jeep right on the edge of the rim to camp the night. The drive out reminded me how remote this was and I had second thoughts about running this instead of the main trail. The canyon is just so huge that it overwhelms you every time. There was one truck parked at the rim too which was comforting somehow.
Next morning I was up at 4:30 and packing. There was a ton of food to take, two headlamps, Garmin Fortrex, cell phone for backup GPS, paper topo maps, extra socks, goggles, shorty wetsuit, spare batteries, overnight kit, Camelback, GoPro camera, extra water bottles, water filtration system, and backpack. I had 240 ounce water capacity. I went out to the Rim and marked visual landpoints for as much of the route as I could see from the maps. I had downloaded GPS USGS Survey markers from USGS.gov for pretty much the entire route. I had trail GPX data from NPS for both South and North Bass trails. I marked each survey marker and the trail itself on the paper topo maps for back up. I did not want to get lost. I spent some time studying the canyon and felt pretty certain that I could see much of North Bass route except of course the river, and I could see far in the distance the point on the South Rim I was climbing to. I got a small cell signal and was able to check the NPS temperatures for the day, 50 F on the North Rim, 103 F at Phantom Ranch, and 87 F at South Rim. Heat was going to be a factor. I headed down the North Bass trail and just had to keep stopping to take pics. It was incredible. No wonder William Bass chose this spot of the canyon. I dropped down a mile to the Muav Saddle where an old patrol cabin still stands. From there the trail descended along the Redwall and I soon came up on Queen Anne Spring which Waypoint marked on the GPS. The trail was overgrown all over but not hard to follow at all, just extremely slow and hard to run. I easily reached the first two survey markers and finding the White River which I would follow for the next few miles. The trail just disappeared here all the time, back and forth across the small stream. When I hit the Tonto Sandstone layer the trail dropped down into the rocky and dry lower White River. So far this was so different from the Grand Canyon I had experienced before that it was like being in a different country. Green, wet, full of all kinds of wildlife. I was about 6 miles down and now stowed my overnight kit in case coming back I couldn’t make it up the North Rim climb. From here it was slow boulder hopping but now knew that water sources were reliable and that I could find the survey markers and see my route vs the trail route on the GPS. I decided in the lower section to follow the White Creek through the narrows instead of the old alignment to see some of these canyons. A little longer but I really wanted to experience this part of the canyon. Ran through slot canyons filled with pools, tons of red and gray toads, tadpoles, and small fish. Lots of shade. I came across a huge chockstone stuck high in the narrows above. Coming out of Whites I rejoined the Bass at the confluence of Shinumo and from here I knew I had just over three miles to reach the Colorado. This was hard running. Basically rock hopping a riverbed. I stopped at the old Bass Camp and looked through many remains; lanterns, picks, shovels, plates and cups. The Bass Trail feels like a museum that you run through, so remote that the only ones on it seem to be people who respect things like this enough to leave them for others. I’d read that you could look around and see the old peach and fruit trees Bass planted but I couldn’t find them. Plus I was eager to get down to the river. This had been one of the most demanding trails I’d been on.
Coming over the ridge I could see the Colorado below. There was a set of rapids above which was very loud and a set of rapids below. I believe these were Bass and Shinumo Rapids. In between the water was wide and slow. I could see many strange up currents and flows going backwards along the sides. The section where it looks like Bass had his tram is obviously very narrow, but the water was fast. I chose the wide slow place. I pulled everything out and triple ziplock bagged it, throwing it all into a large Hefty garbage bag which I filled with air to use a possible flotation if needed. I pulled on the wetsuit, and tied the bag to it’s zippers. I sat by the river and studied it for maybe 10 minutes watching the currents moving things around. It took some will power to actually get in and start. The water was freakin cold but slow. I was hauling. Didn’t want to spend too much time in it. But the water was smooth, like swimming across a big pond. This was fun. Reaching the other side the current reversed, going upstream, and I actually had to swim downstream to hit my landing spot. I unpacked the bags, stowed them all for the return and started up the short cliff wall to where I could see the trail line on the GPS. I was shivering and it was 101 F. I had taken so much video through the slot canyons that my GoPro battery ran out climbing out of the water. I soon got into Bass Canyon which required some rock scrambling and this section was thankfully in the shade just moving around one big boulder after another. I eventually came across the Tonto trail junction where I began to see a lot more Cairns marking the trail. Climbing through what I believe is called the Esplanade I kept finding pocket after pocket of water. This had been a wet Spring. I was keeping soaked this whole run and the Sawyer filter tube with the Camelback gave me virtually unlimited water supply. As usual on Rim trails the last mile and a half is freakin impossible hard and this one didn’t disappoint. I was a bit lower on water than I wanted and headed back down with only a short break. Now I just had to survive in reverse and I had full comfort of an established trail line on the GPS and known water. I took my time and once again sat by the river at my wetsuit stash. Much more comfortable than before. Again I swam nearly the same spot coming out on a nice beach on the other side, bagged everything up, and headed up the ridge to the Shinumo drainage. As I ran up the Shinumo I now noticed a faint trail along the south side of the river and was able to run it much faster than the boulder hopping mile after mile of the way down. When I reached the dry White River upper beds I saw for the first time two hikers ahead, heads down in a death march, with huge packs and gear. They were overjoyed to see me, from New York, fairly lost with only three pages of a trail map printed from the internet. Grizzled good wilderness types though. They had spent a week hiking the North Bass down to the River and back. But yesterday 7 miles up from the river on the winding trails they got lost, and headed back to White Creek in the evening to water. Today they got mixed up again and I showed them the route up on the GPS and using my topos. We then drew the line on their map for them to follow. One of the guys was looking so slow that I told them not to try the climb to the North Rim that evening. But they were certain that a six mile climb was doable. As anyone can attest who has run the North Rim, the North Rim climb is a destroyer. I’ve seen four miles add five hours to a R2R2R with people before. They had only 1 mile to water and the stream to follow so I gave them all but 20 ounces of my water and left. Hope they made it.
When I reached the Redstone layer I hit for the first time in the canyon ever continued nausea. I worried that it was some contamination from the water, a problem with the filtration. But logic told me that wouldn’t hit for a full day. Most likely it was from the ibuprofen that I took an hour before. A stupid mistake that I should have known better than to make. It was relentless and dropped me to a snail pace on the climb. Power hike 10 minutes, rest head in hands two minutes. Repeat. Endlessly. I ran the mantra through my head that every ultra runner knows; you will never feel the same in an hour that you feel now. This was mechanical pain fest. Finally climbing through 6,000 feet it faded away and I was able to alternate running and hiking up to the rim.
This run reset something yet again in my soul about the canyon. It opened up another world. Also this time I was out of shape, 160 lbs of winter fat, but not even a whisper of any injury. Every other time on a R2R2R I was tired from racing. Who knows what the best condition is for one of these? The profile is remarkably similar to a R2R2R in the corridor. 45.6 miles, 11,350 feet of elevation to climb. I took a lot of video on this run so I'll be putting together some video soon.

| Flew in from Hotlanta this afternoon and had the rest of the day on call and a group run/presentation in Ogden at 7 so I ran the Skyline Trail to Ben Lomond. Awesome. I met up with the Tuesday run group at Peak Performance in Ogden for a 6 miler up to Rainbow Gardens and back on the Ogden Marathon course. Did Yoga stretching for a half hour afterwards. Stretching is something I'm getting good at doing after my shorter runs. It's a real difference in my calfs and Hammstrings if I keep up on it. We did a presentation tonight with Dale Earnshaw of Run4fun. Walter actually did it and set it up. If it wasn't for him I'd have no social life at all and be some kind of hermit/pilot/loser. The reason for the presentation was the growing amount of people interested in running a R2R2R. I've been thinking as I've seen more of the canyon and it's history, and now that it's facing it's biggest expansion ever, that maybe in the future people will look back at these days as the early days. Maybe even much more runners in the canyon. We can either work at hiding it, or work at educating those who are going anyway. Tonight was a good meeting with a lot of questions and some smart people. |

No cups at unmanned aid stations with 5 gallon bottles with a screw on lid, so they were a challenge. Tried lifting the bucket up, freakin heavy. Finally kept a power gel block packet in my pocket and put water in it. I felt I could hold a 3:07 today being fat and all, so aimed just above 7 min pace which felt real good. I wanted to keep some in the tank for tomorrow's marathon and tried not to get lead out by the lead guy running close to 6 pace. Fairly isolated experience since most runners are very conservative the first day. I didn't see another runner until catching up to the mass of half marathoners which is similar to the Ogden experience. I actually enjoyed this whole run. First marathon I can remember that was more like a run than my usual death fest. At mile 24 a guy shot out of nowhere from behind me going through a group of half marathoners and I took off after him. So stoked to see that I had plenty left. After passing him I finished in 2nd and found out that the guy ahead had run a 2:42. Insane. A guy out of the Flagstaff training group. Cool race. Different to run knowing that you have to consider two more marathons in the next two days. |

| Some days you run and some days you really run. Today was a great running day. Last week I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night for a week. Four redeye flights and getting the kids to girls camp. Crazy week. But yesterday I got 8 hours and slept over 9 today and what a difference. Awesome trail run in Chicago on the Des Plaines River Trail in the morning and Logan River Trail in the afternoon. |

| A very difficult trail today, Rattlesnake all the way up to Box Elder Cone at 9,600. One of the steepest in Utah climbing 5,000 feet. Mandi and I ran it pretty hard and it's always amazing how much harder you run when you are with a fast woman. :-) |

| Short trail/climbing run from Willard Basin to Box Elder Peak, 9,800 feet. Surprised a moma goat and kid, and a bighorn. The rarest thing to see on this range. I drove with a friend to Jackson last night for what I hoped was an early run up the Grand Teton. Snow conditions were terrible and generally unsafe on all the north facing slopes above 11,000 feet so we cancelled and I drove back for this consolation run. |

| Pretty intense mountain run today. One of the most consistent high altitude runs in Utah is the Skyline Trail. With an immediate climb from 6,000 to 9,000, you can run 11 miles above 8,700 feet between Ogden Canyon and Sardine. With an out and back that's 22 miles. Ran this with Walter today with a trailhead temp of 101F. At Ben Lomond Peak, 9,700 feet, I dropped off the West wall to see if I could get a mountain goat pic. Right into a herd of 20-30. Some scattered and some stood there and looked at me. Such beautiful animals. Ran out of water just as we started down, a 70 ounce camelback. |

| Hit Rattlesnake again with Mandi. This time couldn't keep up until reaching 8,500 feet where I think altitude conditioning gave me an edge. We had to turn around though just below the ridge due to approaching thunderstorms. |

Having pretty much been all over the country, it's my opinion that Murphys house and neighborhood are the most authentic to relive the old school 4th July feeling. Awesome day. |

Scott's a good climber so at 400 feet in Nat, him, and I rapelled the 60 foot hole section into the 4th cavern. Freakin proud of my kids today who harnessed themselves, climbed a 5.65 cave wall, hiked 5 miles, packed their own lunches, and belayed each others climbs. Ran the local city loop at home. |

| With a short weather window opened up I headed up to Jackson Hole last night to run/climb the Grand Teton. This is the most extreme run that I do each year with 5.6 climbing and a temperature swing of 55 degrees. Passed both Exum and Mountain Madness guided groups at 12,800 feet on their way down after turning around because of ice covering the OS route. Good choices for big groups of varied experienced levels, and it probably meant I'd be turning around too. But I had all the gear today and hauled up a 70m rope. Took over an hour just to climb the last 300 feet. It was 33 degrees and winds of 42mph, and I hustled down. This run just floored me today. So tired I fell asleep immediately in the Jeep. This article has made me so freaking mad at the NPS. A country full of fat and disconnected people who need to be inspired, and the NPS harasses Jurek at the end of his exceptional feat. Dang. Can't get the link to post. Google Jurek and NPS. |

Ran the Grand Teton trail again with an exceptional forecast. Once again seeing not a single trail runner on this ascent. There are a lot of climbers and a lot of trail runners, but I have yet to run into another trail runner with climbing gear. Amazing how such a perfect fit of sports has so few doing both. Today was the first day joining two climbing friends from Oregon who hiked to the Lower Saddle Base camp at 12,000 feet the night before. Exceptional climbers with much more experience than me and we were able to complete both the Owen Spaulding Route and the Ridge. Also did the North Face rapell from 13,500 feet which I've always wanted to do. When we got back to Base Camp there was a father and daughter group climbing the Exum Route and they asked if I wanted to join them. All three of the main routes on the Grand in one day. The most intense day yet I've had on a mountain. The 8 mile run back down was a killer. I'm nowhere near shape for this kind of running.

First relay ever for me. I've been in the roster for this race two times and had to cancel days before. This year we had such an exceptional team of masters I would have died before missing it. Not so much for the pace I thought we could run but for the chance to spend two days with these guys. It is tremendous effort to just make a Hood to Coast come together these days with 13,000 runners and this weekend The Oregon coast was hit with a huge storm. It ended up bringing 50mph winds and rain to Saturday's part of the 200 miles and destroyed the finish line and post race party.
Flew into Portland early Friday morning with Walter and had a detailed team meeting with everyone. After what happened to this team last year we needed contingency plans so traffic didn't wreck everything again We swapped out some legs putting the fastest guys on the uphill and long legs Steve and I swapped legs so I'd be running the suicide start I was hoping to get a good downhill because I was a week and half out if getting stitches removed from the ankle and knew I was one of the slower guys on the team we were van one which meant we had to get our butts up to the start for a 4pm start I loved the time in the van immediately, our group was just a lot of fun. We were the only masters team in the final fast heat, because we were the only masters team predicting sub 20 hour finish. This put us in with the Bowerman Nike, Portland Track, Google, and General Electric teams though. Exactly half our age. The first leg was six miles and lost 2,000 feet and I was surprised when the pace began at slower than 5 min pace. So I went into the lead and increased the pace to around 4:47. Three guys immediately fell in behind me and we rolled through the first three miles like an old Alta Peruvian. My feet were burning and I knew I'd be paying later for the pace so I let off a little, the three swung around me and I just focused on holding the gap. With Walter and Steve on the next downhill legs after me, our average pace of the first 16 miles was 5:06.
But now we were out of the fun and into the rollers and hills. Scott had a particularly tough 7 mile leg with a long hill that he just charged through. With two vans rotating we would have about 2.5 hours to rest after our six legs but as it turned out you are working like crazy to get to the next exchange point so there was only a few minutes of quick rest. By midnight the storms hit hard and we sat in a field in the cramped van while the other van ran the rain and sleet for two hours. I stumbled out of the van into the rain at 5:15am and made it to the exchange seconds before the other van runner. This leg sucked! I couldn't believe how hard it was to get leg turnover. Relays are such a different animal and trail running at snail pace is no way to prep for decent road running. Our pace chart called for me to run at least 6:18 here and I barely managed. Humble pie.
By mile 75 we were at average 5:43 pace. Exchanges were our biggest issue, getting a guy out with hundred of vans, and the other guy back to the van. What I expected to be filled with 15 or 20 minute rests were just frantic scrambling. All night long. At midpoint 100 miles we were at 5:53 pace, three minutes ahead of our goal chart. The other van was nailing their pace through crazy weather and I was amazed to pick up my last exchange without any cell coverage and again in light rain, right on schedule. I had the shortest legs and basically now just needed to not bleed time while our strong guys put in the work on the long legs. We made our last exchange to the other van just as the weather hit in force. Horizontal rain, branches all over the roads. Glad we were done and they were running. We headed to the finish line and hotel to wait it out. With up to 50mph winds the beach finish line was destroyed. Tents ripped apart and blown everywhere. The party was cancelled and the finish line shifted into the city. The other van runners held on amazing strong, Jeff ran one leg of 7 miles in this wind and rain at 6:18 pace. We finished barely under the coveted 20 hour mark by three seconds. 6:02 average pace. First masters but as of Sunday morning still unsure of overall. Fifth or sixth.

| On call today for work but agreed to pace Mandy for the last section of TOU if I wasn't called in. I just kept my phone with me and had a driver ready so I could rush in if I got a call. A 15 minute call back window is pretty tight. Sasha stayed the night again which is always cool, and there were six peppers for the Bear 100 so it was a late night. I joined with Mandy just below the 13 marker and she was lead. But she was having trouble after a few miles with the 640 pace and we had to back off. Luckily she was able to hold on and finished just below three hours in third place. I cut off two blocks before the finish and ran the course in reverse back to my Jeep.

| On the way down to Moab stopped in Salt Lake at 9:30pm and ran City Creek for a fast shakeout with Walter. A little pre marathon speed. I had to postpone my race to next year because of work so this was for W. This kind of run is very much needed in my training, all out, hands on the knees going up, and reckless abandon on the way down. Got in a 5:08 and a 5:12 going down. Good for me lately.

| I've been eyeing the La Sal range outside of Moab for some time. I took the small access road southeast out of Moab for a direct route up the closest mountain in the range, Tuk. At 12,240 feet it was a 6,000 foot climb on talus. I then headed south and ran over South Mountain, then back over Mt Peale the highest at 12,720, then over Mellenthin back into Moab. On the north coulier Peale I came up on some mountain goats and spent 30 minutes circling up from the downwind side to sit with them and watch for a while. Beautiful day, rough going with no trails on these peaks. Almost 8 hours to cover 23 miles.

The Rockies had an exceptional high altitude weather system so Bent and I flew to Denver, picked up a car, and ran one of the hardest 14er routes, Longs Peak. Long trail with a lot of exposed climbing, this is statistically the most dangerous mountain in Colorado. 60 people have died on it. Pushed this one hard with only two breaks and it still took us almost six hours.

This was the longest ride they've ever done, and it was very close to that line that turns an activity that's fun into "we hate dad". They both went through full 70 ounce Camelbacks on the 83 degree afternoon. Perfect day.

Ran the Wellsville Ridge in the first snow. Beautiful. Just finished Edward Whymper's old climbing book and pulled this great quote about climbing and doing it safely:
Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.

| Up at six to help for the day with The National Marathon Trail Championships. The girls worked the finish line and the Kids Adventure Race. Actually worked their butts off for four hours and I was proud of them. Went through 60 gallons of water in Dixie cups. I should do this more. I give pretty much nothing back to running. Race director let me run with the USATF wave since I could follow the half marathon course back and be in time for the first finishers. Very humbling. These lead folks are fit. Even running a 1:38 half I was chicked twice. And they had 13 more to go. I cut off the marathon course in Kane's Canyon and finished with the half runners just in time to work the finish line for three hours.

This week I flew four times across the US from San Fran to Atlanta and never saw further than 20 feet ahead of the plane. In the clouds the whole time, runway to runway. Unusual for that distance. El Niño is going to make this a different winter than we are used to.

| Having a few days off work and the kids gone on a trip I headed down for Toroweap Overlook Grand Canyon for some remote running. Drove the longest dirt road of my life, 65 miles out of Fredonia AZ, cutting off it halfway to drive through the remote volcano areas north of the Tuweep National Park. At one point the trail was gone and I was driving the Jeep solely off of GPS across the tundra. You could drive for hours out here with no roads. Eventually I came across the dirt road, NPS #5 again, and got to the campground. Not a soul here and the Ranger station appeared deserted for the season. I ran the North Rim trails, Tucker and Saddleback, feeling as remote on a run as I ever have. Pitch black and lots of animal noises.

| Early morning off the Toroweap Overlook. Ran up the Vulcans Throne volcano and then down to the Lava Falls trail down the North Rim. Only cairn marked, and a steep 1,700 feet per mile for most of it, this is the hardest trail I've ran yet. Like running a 40 degree slope on cinder ball bearings. From 5,200 feet to the river at 1,600 I think it was about 3 miles. Threw on the shorty wetsuit and swam the river just above Lava Rapids. Air temp was about 62 and water was 47 so I had to keep moving fast after getting out. Headed up the South Rim through Prospect Canyon. No trails exist for this side. Also a bit worried about permission to be running on the Indian Reservation lands. After hitting the South Rim just a few hundred feet higher than the North, I could see several sections that were higher than the rim elevation I had climbed. I'm going to have to run this again with permission of the tribe and hit some of these high points. Headed back down nailing two water pools perfectly and saw a white, wild canyon horse for the first time in the canyon ever. Swam the river and sat in the sun drying out. A raft group beached above the rapids and I was able to get some video of them running Lava Rapids and talk to them for a few minutes about their trip. The run up the North Rim was now warm and I could easily see the NPS warning about this trail being the worst in the canyon for heat. I was running Dec 10 at 50 degree and feeling it. This would be a motha at 110 degrees. This may be the first R2R2R here, excepting the ancients who ran all over the thing. It's like taking a corridor R2R2R and smashing it together so the climbs are only a mile apart. The Rims are as the crow flies only two miles apart. Ran this with no water using Sawyer filter tubes again, an advantage of late season cold temperatures. ~8,000 vertical feet.

Did a good hour of lifting at the gym while the kids played basketball and then took a break for an hour and a half sledding. Good lunch of donuts and hot chocolate. Afternoon went up to USU track and did my first tempo workout in a while. A version of the Michigan:
5 mile slow warm up
1600 @ 5k pace ( I chose 5:45)
2000 @ MP (I chose 6:05)
1200 @ 5k pace
2000 @ MP
800 @ 5k pace
2000 @ MP
400 all out
1.5 miles easy run
2-3 minutes slow jog in between because I was hammered from the canyon run two days ago. Preferably these wouldn't have any breaks. But I figured I was still running...

| Lift and short run in Atlanta. I've been seriously impressed with the North Face Omni jacket with the reflective heat shield. Light windbreaker without insulation but with their Omni Shield technology. Similar to what Columbia uses in their Gold 650 coat. Anyhow, it's been surprising that this light jacket has been sufficient for trail runs in nighttime as low as 20 degrees F for me. It's light enough that it can be used for runs in the 40-50s too. So I was looking up what heat the human body produces. At rest, 100 watts. Same as a very good light bulb. But during running as much as 15 times that. So an inner reflective jacket is incredibly efficient for a runner. If he has to spend the night though it's a different story.

| Snow shoe up Ben Lomond from the Willard side and skied down. Easily the most dangerous climb yet. Of the Utah mountains though, this set is one of the most beautiful. Love it. Took five hours.
