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- Met Justin at Dupont state forest. 16.5 miles at a generally easy pace (2:50) with 2500 ft climbing. Perfect weather, especially at the finish with about 50 deg temps. Didn't see anyone for the first 2.5 hrs of the run, having the whole place to ourselves. The river crossing at mile 12 was exciting, too, as Justin **just-about** went into the drink on the very mossy rocks. I still don't know how he stayed up. Good run to finish up the year.

This ends a strong year for me- I'll do a full wrap up later. This week is my 5th highest mileage this year, and I finish with 395 miles in December (2nd highest of the year- within spitting distance of 400, and 70 miles higher than my prev Dec record) and ran a total of 3769.75 miles for the year, beating my 2009 record by over 430 miles. That means I averaged more than 72 miles per week and basically ran from Key West, FL at the SE tip of the US all the way to Neah Bay, at the very NW corner of Washington State, plus running an extra 120 miles back.

Fuel XC Miles: 16.50
