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!

Woke up at 6 again thanks to the sun (just can't sleep in anymore). Lounged about, then left at 8 for Dupont Forest. 75 deg and 90% humidity when I left. What a wonderful place to run- a hundred miles of trails, and even the rarely-used, out-of-the-way trails are never overgrown. So nice to not have stinging nettle or thorns. Tried to mainly run trails I've never done before, which was enjoyable. Started at 9:30 am, finished at 1 pm in 85 deg temps. Drank 80 oz during, then 30 oz chocolate milk (yummy) and 40 oz water after, and still didn't have to go to the bathroom. Run was almost exactly 20 miles with 3300 ft climbing in a hair under 3 hrs- I was moving at a pretty good clip. That's another nice thing about Dupont is it is runnable. No walking today. And with so many trails, you can loop all over rather than an out-and-back. I only overlapped 1 mile today.

Now time to catch up on Western, then watch Unbreakable and take a nap, then Western again. Plus some chores. Not a bad day.

Ok, Justin, see if you can follow where I ran- Fawn Lake Road to Reasonover Creek to Lake Julia road to Conservation Road to Shelter Rock trail to Barn trail to Conservation Road to Three Lakes (not on the map) to Lake Dense trail to Pitch Pine trail to Conservation Road to covered bridge to Buck Forest road to Lake Imaging road to Hilltop Loop to Locust trail to Isaac Heath trail to Jim Branch trail to Lake Imaging road to Ridgeline trail to Hooker Creek trail to White Pine trail to Buck Forest Road to Conservation Road to Fawn Lake Road to Fawn Lake loop to Fawn Lake road to Mine Mountain trail to Fawn Lake road to the car.

Almost! I saw the new three lakes trail last weekend. You lost me after hilltop loop though. Pretty jealous of the awesome run. I spent the day instead taking the "highest gross score" award at the Cytec golf tournament. I even won a sleeve of "environmentally friendly" golf balls for it.

Highest score is good, right? ;)

Nice run, lucky to have so many miles of trail so close...sounds almost better than Utah...well except the 90% humidity thing. See you Saturday.I'll be at Dry Canyon aid...I'll make you the same offer I made Cody..let me know if you want me to take him out for you..:)

How about taking out Cody AND Joe?

That does sound like a great run. Wish I could join you. Although I recently realized that there are plenty of incredible places almost literally in my own backyard I have yet to check out. For example, the cover photo on the new issue of Trail Runner is in Big Cottonwood Canyon and I didn't even recognize it!
