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

Oh, man! Our football game was at Woods Cross High today at noon and it was SO HOT!!! You poor guy, MISERY!!! I know it was in the 80's. NICE job though, I would have melted and someone would have had to retrieve me like a spilled slurpee on the road.

Thanks Kelli - it was warm. Luckily I had a couple of water stops along the way.

Looking forward to nice and easy all week getting ready for next Saturday! How about you?

Yes, nice and easy. My husband really believes I need to take two days off entirely but that FREAKS me out---I never do that! I was kind of forced to at Boston, but otherwise I always run the day before. I guess I will go with he flow.

Kelli and JD, whatever you choose to do, you will both be awesome. I'm excited for you!
