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!

I guess my Saturday hot run finished my acclimatization. I am now fully a Southerner. How do I know? I heard on the radio after my evening run that we set a record high of 103 today... and I didn't even think it felt that warm during my runs.

Lunch- 6 with Aaron and Mike.

PM- 12.5 with Barry at Paris Mtn. Stopped the watch, but it was about 1:55 with 2000 ft climbing. Always nice to run with Barry in the mountains. Easy pace with lots of talking.

The gym at my work is having a challenge to "Swim the Nile"- 4130 miles. Each minute of exercise counts for 10 miles. It lasts from Aug 1-31. And... I'm already at 4200 miles, just 3 days in. Maybe I should try to swim it 10 times.

60+ miles in 3 days. I think this is my highest Mon-Wed total ever.

That's pretty funny. Every year at my work they have this contest to to see who can walk/run the most. You actually have to count your steps. The first year I was like two million steps ahead of second place so now they don't let me enter.

Wow, you're really cranking up the mileage. I am amazed you can find the time for it.
