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- Ran with Paul and Cody on dirt roads/trails from Paul's house in Smithfield down to Logan Canyon and back. About 20 deg and steady snow (2-3 inches fell while we ran), which was enjoyable but made for slow going. I really love snow running, and this was the first of the year. Saw the new fishing pond at Green Canyon- not sure what to make of it. Paul had the great idea of doing a Green Canyon triathlon, though the swim would be short. The bike and run would be fantastic, though. I am jealous how many nice dirt trails Paul has right by his house.

Paul did 15 miles, then Cody and I did a few more, including on the ice sheet known as Birch Canyon (note: do not run on it again till spring). Cody even tested out the slickness with his hand and hip. 21.25 miles total, according to Cody, so I'll round down (yes, I do round down sometimes). Total time was slow, over 3 hours- I think Cody said about 8:40 pace. Thanks for the run, guys- nice to run on some good trails with the guys.

Great run and good approach taking it easy. Your endurance is going to be incredible for your Ultra on the horizon. Do you still have a early morning work schedule? If so it doesn't seem to affect your training. Do you have a set goal pace for the Ultra?

Kory- yes, I still have to be into work very early. I go to bed at 11 most nights and wake up around 4:30 am for my run.

As for the ultra pace... that's classified info. Can't help any of my competitors ;)
