Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

it isn't the first, or last time. especially now that your starting to build for the salmon marathon!

From Lysa on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 16:52:54 from 67.166.122.134

I don't care if it was the first time or not. All I care about is that I ran more than you TODAY. So there. And stop saying salmon.

From Thayne on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 16:53:29 from 132.79.9.15

Good run! Yes the Salmon is awesome! and yes we are all gonna enjoy it...even you Lysa!

Today looked like a great day to be outside!

From JD on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 18:54:03 from 71.213.37.193

@Kelli - so far this has been a great winter to run outdoors!

From Steam8 on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 20:48:02 from 166.70.55.77

Hey..we are about the same now! We could be running buddies! Nice run today!

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 18:02:15 from 71.219.85.126

And ironically I have spent most of it inside!!!

From JD on Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 18:07:20 from 71.213.37.193

thanks Steam - too bad i live in davis co. we would make good running partners, you would make me run fastere! although getting me out to run with people is like pulling teeth sometimes.

Kelli - whatever it takes to get the run in!

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 18:18:28 from 71.219.85.126

Yeah, but I run in front of a window and stare at the mountains and it looks so nice (granted, sometimes it is not, but it looks nice!) I almost went out this afternoon it was so beautiful. But, alas, I watched TV instead.

You punk. You just HAD to show me up didn't you.
