Headed up Dry Canyon again to Mt Logan.  Took one can of Diet Pepsi since I knew all those raspberries were on the trail.  Just amazing trail to be on and fun to pass a few horses 3 miles up.  I took this much slower than yesterday.

Some corporate genius at my airline decided the politically correct term for fat people is Person Of Size.  Last week one of the flight attendants yells up to the cockpit from the front galley during pre boarding, "There's a POS hanging out in row five so I can't get my cart down the aisle".  We busted up.  It's only a matter of time before we get sued for this abbreviation...

Pulled an all nighter with a group climbing back through Logan Cave.  I haven't done any spelunking since my twenties and these guys were serious.  Pretty cool.  Then drove the kids up to Alpine, Wy for summer camp and drove back.  Just barely enough time for a three miler before crashing for the night.

Easy run in Denver between flights.  I simply have no time to run this week.  As it is I'm getting about 4 hours to sleep each night.

Interval workout squeezed into an hour and a half.  Middle of the day in Nashville at close to 100% humidity.  New hotel by the airport so I couldn't get to the Riverwalk and had to run the streets.  Worst traffic I have fought with in a long time.  Quite a miserable run.  2 mile easy, 8X2:30 minute fast, 2 in between.

Hard trail run up Providence Peak.  Super hot but a lot of fun.  This one hurt.
