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 had 90 min between getting home from some training and Marci needing to leave. It was a glorious, sunny, 35 deg afternoon. I decided it would be best spent doing a trail run- I drove to Dry Canyon and had a very wonderful 45 min run. The snow has been nicely compacted by hikers and snowboarders and was very runnable without excessive sinking in. Very enjoyable run. There's nothing to get your heart going right away as starting a workout by running up a snow-covered mountain for 30 min. 30 min up, 15 down. Not sure actual mileage, but it was 6 effort. And I could tell that I haven't used my "downhill running in the snow stabilization" muscles in a while.

I may have to start doing this at least once a week- I think you could even do it very easily after dark. Cody, Paul, Scott- anyone is welcome to join me. Maybe next Thursday evening and/or Sat afternoon?

It was a wonderful day to run. Good to see you are getting out. Bounding down the snow is great fun.

sounds like fun. I may join you, kind of depends on my ornery right calf, it doesn't like going uphill right now. It seems to kind of be on the edge of giving me trouble...

Pass. Give a ring when the trails dry out.

It is great to read such visually compelling run reports. Makes me feel like I'm out there with you.
