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 was supposed to go to Paris mtn with Barry and Seth. However, my all day headache worsened all day until, while driving to PM, a sneeze basically caused my head to explode and brought tears to my eyes. I finally admitted the pain would not allow a run so headed home, where I've sat in a dark room all evening. Goose egg for the day.

Good news for fans of Once A Runner

Pretty cool about the prequel. Looking forward to reading it and maybe being inspirational to Justin for his HS running career.

Hope you start feeling better.

Jon you need to learn about formatting hyperlinks :-)

I know, Jake. I can do it from my computer but not my iPad, and I do most my entries from my iPad.

There, you happy now?

Excellent work.

I didn't think about the iPad thing. It's possible to make clean links using one but it's kind of a pain in the neck so not really worth it.

How about I just say I'm too lazy and we leave it there :)

is the "soon to be five" comment recent or old? either way, i can't believe you have five (or almost five) kids now!

Allie- I just put the comment up recently, but we are expecting the baby to arrive this week.

That's an awesome link! Anyone who takes the time to accurately type that in should get the job automatically. Reminds me of the Dear Santa letter I saw where, rather than say what toy he wanted, the kid wrote out the whole Amazon link. By hand. In crayon.
