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- Standard Green Canyon run, for probably the last time. I'm really going to miss this run- it's probably the trail run I've done the most other than the river trail. 8 miles to just past the yurt. Gorgeous morning for a run. My quads are still a bit sore, which shows how much downhill there was and how hard I ran it- it's the first time I've been sore in 2-3 months, despite thousands of trail miles.

Someone posted some pictures from the race last Saturday showing the clouds we descended into that we so gorgeous. Also, some pictures of running in the fog and all of the flowers. Now you can get a taste for yourself of how beautiful it was.

Jon, that run looks awesome and the pictures are amazing. I feel privileged to be the first to comment. Good luck at the Bear 100 and moving to SC.

Wow - breathtaking. I gotta start doing some of these trail races. Just wish they weren't all a gazillion miles long.
