Run up Three Mile Creek Canyon. My wife joined me for the last mile and RAN the whole way (picture me excited!). She had walked up the road paralleling the creek and met me at the trail/road intersection on my way down. She said it was the longest she has ever run.

5 mile up Three Mile Creek Canyon. Second time this week my wife ran a mile down the  trail along the creek with me. She even wore the waist pack with water bottle I gave her a year ago. I'm pensively optomistic.

Running on Wolf Mountain was amazing. The N.U.T.S. folks were well organized with great volunteers. Picture perfect day. I fat fingered my Garmin at the start and didn't look at it until the aid station, still read all zeros, so I wasn't able to judge time/distance. The course for the 5K started with a ski lift ride. I was surprized that the trail had so many uphill climbs. As I approached the finish I saw 39+ minutes and I thought, well at least its not 40. Then I realized it was 39:58. With the Garmin working I know I could have pushed it a bit harder. Ended up 16th out of 34, 2nd in AG.

Later in the evening I hit the Three Mile Creek trail. My wife met me later and we power walked a 1-1/8 mile up the canyon and ran back down. 7 miles plus the race for 10.1 total. A great end to the day.
