Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- Big Workout. 5 miles warmup in 38:25 down to the Platte River trail, then 7 miles at MP (supposed to be 5:50-5:55, but I was on gravel so just wanted to stay under 6:00). Splits were 5:57 (hair slow), 5:44, 5:46, 5:46, 5:54 (had some uphill), 5:40, 5:37. Really pushing it hard on the last 2 to go faster. Felt tired but good by the end. 5:46 avg for the 7 miles, so a bit faster than I needed to do. 4 miles cooldown in 31:23 with 8 striders. 1:50:19 for the whole 16 miles, 6:54 pace. Very nice to run in the 60-deg temps of the morning and to have my dad biking along behind me the whole run. Happy to report that I made him have to work a bit on his bike for the 7 MP miles.

PM- 6 easy miles in 48:30 at 3:30 PM. Hot, but not near as hot as most of the summer. Followed by a good hour of ultimate frisbee.

Jon ... your really doing some great splits. Your fitness and training is impressive even after all the races you've done. STG is really going to be a great success.

Man, are you supposed to make your dad work?

Great run and awesome splits.
