Skied the Wellsville mountain ridgeline right at sunset on a perfect day. Dropped my son off in the morning for his flight to Mexico City. He's attempting a climb up Mexico's highest peak and then flying to Columbia to climb the highest there. Killing me to not go with him but I have this irritating thing called work.

I didn't get a single break either through college. I probably wouldn't have had the guts to do what he is doing though either. He flew standby and is staying in hostels

Can't recall dealing with so much weather. Nothing but rain or snow everywhere I go this winter. Wrecked havoc on my running. Worked out in the hotel at Cleveland for an hour and ran a treadmill as long as I could before going postal. Vegas tomorrow and it's forecasting solid rain.

Finally got Bently back from Mexico and Columbia. It was a good trip for him and a learning experience. He didn't summit either mountain he was trying for which was what I thought would happen, but he did make it to 16,300 feet on Sleeping Lady.  The failed trips are the best for learning. Most impressive was that he slept in the open on trails and beaches. Something I don't do unless emergency. One night he slept at 12,800 feet in the high rainforest of Columbia. Next month we head together to summit Orizaba the highest in Mexico. He spent less than $600 total on this 9 day trek. Less than the price of an Xbox 360. This solo trip of his has given me enough confidence that I'll take him with on a good climb.  I flew in this morning from Chicago and he flew in from Cartegena and we met up on lower Dry Canyon to snowshoe the Mt Logan ridge

Gym day. I've been a member of an old school gym here for at least a decade. More a family place with two pools, basketball courts, and racquetball. This Fall Golds Gym went out of business and as a courtesy my gym picked up their members for the remainder of their contracts. What a different crowd. The steroid troopers. String shirts, backwards hats, and gold jewelry. This morning two young guys were flexing and taking selfies in the locker room mirror. A crusty old guy stops and asks, "You guys want me to take some pictures of you together?"  I couldn't help it and just busted up which got me an "F u Homie". Probably slashed tires on my car within a few days too. Good times. 40 min lifting and an hour hard run.

Ran Blacksmith Fork in the fog this morning. The Grand Canyon is being increasingly "pussyfied" by the NPS. The huge facilities being built in Cottonwood Campground are one of the most disappointing things I've seen. At least it's no problem to head off corridor to find other quiet R2R2R trails. I was able this week to spend six hours in NAU library and get copies of Harvey Buchart's original trail maps and logs. These are going to be a lot of fun. I'm looking for a path to do a R2R2R from Grandview Trail down to the river and up Wotans Throne and over to Cape Royale. Then back. Harvey was the man:  http://www.kaibab.org/kaibab.org/gcps/butchart.htm. I have also just finished my third online course with Garmin/Google Earth mapping. So much to learn here.

Three loop route in our neighborhood. Starting my daughter on her training for Cross Country which she can start next year as a Freshman.  The team starts workouts in two months and she wants to start early. Every loop she would run one mile and walk until I caught up on the next loop. Got her three miles in this one and she was mad I didn't make her run more. That will not be the case in two weeks. :-)

Snowing hard so we went up to run the Nelson Fieldhouse. They told us at the door there is a new restriction that nobody is allowed under 18. WTH?  So this shits down that opportunity for winter. We then just went to the gym and Natalie did her 15 min runs with alternating walks while I got a quick 5 in.

Day off. The kids and I worked the afternoon on climbing. We have added some overhang climbs to our wall and it's good to see them unable to climb a section. The wall has been a bigger thing for the kids than I imagined it might be. Every morning Shelby hauls herself straight down to the wall and starts climbing. She's technically safe now solo with ascenders and rigging.

Beautiful run covering the entire Sloan Range South to North along the ridge. Peaked over Black Mountain south of Vegas. 80 degrees today and felt like I could have ran all day. Not a soul for nearly seven hours on these trail. I think 10 lbs of winter fat is a great benefit on these long slow runs.

Diverted to Phoenix this morning because of snowstorm Selene in Denver. Good luck since it was sunny and 75. I was able to run Camelback and Piewesta Peaks. So far this year I simply haven't had the time to run like I want. Maybe the time, but it's been too far down the list. Hope I can change that.

Spring R2R2R with Matt Kemp, Jed Winder, Mike Rice, Paul Moody and Mandi Mcbride. All very good trail runners. Started South to North this time in a snowstorm on the Bright Angel trail. It blew over as expected within an hour and we had temps mostly in the 50s for the day. Matt had issues at 13 miles in and by 18, Cottonwood, I told him I'd go back with him. Mandi and the others went on and had one of the quicker runs, she came back under 13 hours. Matt and I ran up the Kaibab which was a first for me. Awesome day and great run.

Solid run. What's that, your 10th R2R2R? I wonder what the record is?

From Steve on Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 10:00:46 from 66.87.126.45

Well this is the third one I haven't finished. That is a record probably

From Jon on Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 11:56:06 from 104.129.204.85

Davy Crockett, formerly of FRB, has run about as many miles in the canyon as anyone. Phil Lowry has also done a ton. I'm sure some Flagstaff locals make it a lot, too.

Sounds like another fun and successful run. Down Bright Angel and up Kaibab is a good mixture.

From Steve on Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 13:13:28 from 66.87.76.232

No interest in running what either of them did. Total yawners. Harvey Buchart remains the only traveler of the canyon that really experienced it. His routes are the ones I'm starting to follow. But the group thing once or twice a year will always be something special. You guys know how it is. If I had one thing left to choose to do, to make a difference, it would be to run with great runners through that canyon as many times as life offered the opportunity.

From Jon on Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 19:11:56 from 96.33.87.148

I've never heard of Harvey before. Sounds like he really knew that place- 100 approaches to the river.

From Steve on Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 19:27:59 from 66.87.76.9

The University of Arizona has a department that has an incredible amount of information about the GC. Most available online. I got all Harvey's diaries and hand drawn maps from them.

Easy run in Indianapolis. Just finished 40 Years Among the Indians, a lost edition of Dan Jones. Got a lot of amusement from the fighting described between the Liberals and Mormons in the first decades of Salt Lake history. Nothing different from today. The recipes of saddle and shoe leather were good too. After Bently's trek with me back up a few 14ers last week I looked back through Cavedog's record of all 14ers. So much fun. Especially reading about how much extra weight he figured he carried after discovering a hidden dime in his pack. http://www.thedogteam.com/

Beach run early morning Cancun. Today I finished Mcdougal's latest book, Natural Born Hero's. Didn't enjoy it nearly like Born To Run. Couple of good ideas such as the sections on the uselessness of gyms compared to what nature offers, and why focusing only on competition instead of health. Otherwise it's just a book pushing the meat/paleo diet again. One wonders why Chris, now he's discovered the secrets of the Tarahumara and barefoot running, coupled with the incredible power of protein diets, fascia elesticity, and low heart rate fat burning, still can't run a 4.5 hour marathon. Probably book three...

I love typing comments after I've had a couple beers. You should try it sometime.

Job interview with Delta today. Feeling things out if it's time to go back to a big airline. Came to Frontier 11 years ago to get away from it all and now Frontier is growing faster than any airline. Probably will be bought by United next year. Easy run in Atlanta.  I might be in the worst running shape right now of the last five years

Long run east of Vegas in the Mojave. 103 degrees today on a national weather system heat warning. I love getting in these heat training runs. Baked my brain.

Taking a break from daily entries on FRB which has always been my best source of running inspiration. I'm not logging enough miles anyhow to justify trying to keep up. I'm going to use this to continue following the awesome races everyone is doing and the kinds of training. Spent the last 9 days with my kids and three neighbor families in Lake Powell and surrounding areas  I did three rim to river runs of the Marble Canyon, Grand Canyon area.  Natalie did her longest trail run ever, running four hours with Bently in South Coyote Buttes and Vermillion Cliffs.  Shelby still thinks running trails is stupid.  But she did kayak Navajo, Antelope, and Wiregrass Canyons with me

Steve, you are probably fitter than you think with all the trail running. I'm not in the greatest. You should keep it going.. Can we expect you to come out for some local road events?

You have been very busy and enjoying life. Blogging is just a tool. Will miss reading about your travels and adventures but stay in touch.

You're still 14 miles ahead of me for the year. Maybe I should bag it as well.

Will miss the daily entries, but look forward to following your adventures on Instagram! You sure know how to live!

Thanks guys. Love this stuff. You know this blog got me through a hard post divorce phase five years ago. It gave me a lot of long term friends. It gave me some examples of guys that make it all work.

Pushed Elsha in her stroller today on the Des News Marathon. Elsha has muscular dystrophy and can't move her arms, legs, or head, but that hasn't slowed her down in chasing her dreams.

Elsha has a hard time entering certain races because she isn't allowed to use the wheelchair division because she can't push herself. The Des News let us in by having her register as an individual and me the same. Obviously they didn't expect her to win. I figured I could use the mountain training to hold on to a slower marathon and walk as needed. Everyone started out fast, as expected, and we did right on 7 min pace for the first 4 miles, probably back about 150 people. The rest of the race we passed runners mostly due to the heat and the hills. Tons of fun and great talking with elsha the whole way. Passed the two lead women at mile 19 on the "Hogle Monster". We had to stop six times to clear Elsha's airway but she was amazing this time. Great time.

The race decided to not give her the win and the $1,000 because the other women would be mad. I don't think she cared. We qualified her for Boston which is what they require for her to run that course and which she has wanted for a long time.

I'm late reading this, but what a cool thing! You gave Elsha a great gift, way to go (as I'm sure she gave you a great gift as well - funny how service actually serves both people - I love that).

It's true. I took more from this race than many in the past
