Double gully with Matt Walch, we didn't do the little trail at the end of the longer gully but we did extra at the park to make up for it. This was a tough run, first long run of the season over 10 miles so its nice to get that find with. It felt good but I was very tired the second time. This will make me a much better runner, especially for the 5k, I think next Saturday we will go to Liberty Park and do 15 or so. Next week has no excuse to not be a 60+ week, no pre-meet days or anything, and after next week I will finally be done with my job and that will make two a days a lot easier. I'm getting pretty excited for school and cross, I'm going to make honor roll every quarter! And I'm going to be up there with the leaders in all the races, I'm going to prove to myself and everyone that I am good at cross country. This season means a lot more to me now that I've trained so much for it.

Why don't you sign up for the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase (16 mountainous miles) next Saturday and run it with me?

I'm running the legendary Magnolia Road in Boulder Colorado tomorrow. It's 15 miles at 9,000 feet and a staple of the CU cross country team.

Magnolia Road sounds awesome, I hope you have a good time there! Maybe you will see Ben Saarel? I will sign up for Jupiter Peak Steeplechase, I don't know how to race anything that long but I guess I will find out!
