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- Drove to Jason's house, then went to Oconee to run the entire Chattooga 50k course we are racing next week. It rained very hard on the 90 min drive but stopped just as we arrived. Temps were around 70 and very humid the whole time. At least there weren't too many spiders- I hit maybe 10 webs the whole time. We started running 3 miles down a road and, after several false starts, found the race trail. We ran up the Cherry Hill campground, down Big Bend trail to Chattooga River and the FHT, then along the FHT to the turnaround and back to the car. 21 miles with 3500 ft climb in 3:45. A huge husky was on the trail and decided to join us for 4 or 5 miles of the run- not sure who owns him, but he was nice enough. I also caught a toe and took a digger, and it appears I literally jammed the knuckle on my middle toe in the process- it's rather swollen and sensitive. Also had 2 ticks and felt pretty good, though my ankle was still complaining loudly and regularly. I'll do my best to rest it for the 50k next weekend, then milk it through the trail 14k in June before a longer rest.

Like I said, very humid and wet. Running in fog...

What a green, lush location. Beautiful, with soft pine trail.

Lots of downed trees and stream crossings

Jason on the banks of the Chattooga River. Run if you hear banjos...
