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- 10 around Logan, most of them with Cody. We would have gotten more miles except I had four (!) pit stops. Bleh- I think that is a non-long run record for most stops. Very nice to have someone to run with in the morning- thanks, Cody. Don't have my watch so I have no idea how long it took, except I know we were pushing the pace a bit (some sub-7 miles).

PM- Ouch ouch ouch. I was supposed to do about 12 miles, but my achilles was painful. This was the first time it was very painful, not just tight. I hobbled through 1 mile before deciding it wasn't going to loosen up and hurt too much. Walked back to the car. Nuts. I think I'll rest tomorrow morning and re-evaluate tomorrow night. It seems that 1 hilly run per week is ok, but doing a second with only one day in between seems to set this off.

Jon, looks like we are camping this weekend, leaving Friday afternoon and returning on Sunday. We can plan a run Thursday at lunch time and maybe some more on Friday morning.

Hope to see you in a few days!

Thursday and Friday sound good. I would be avaiable for a Mon morning run, too. I'll give you a call Wed evening.

Jon - just looked at the web site for Rocky Racoon in Texas, looks like a bush wacking course? Good luck in your training. It seems that it will be darn tough to get ready with the Utah trails this winter before Rocky?

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Have you heard of that ultra runner guy Dean Karnazes? I heard about him recently because he is hosting the Kauai Marathon this year. Anyways he has the world record for longest run on a treadmill without stopping and road running w/o stopping. I have always wondered how he handled the "pit stops". Did he stop and count that as not stopping? Or did he......? Your entry about all the pit stops got me thinking about him again. I'm not sure you could go for the new world record unless you cut out those pit stops.

From Jon on Wed, May 20, 2009 at 09:33:27 from 138.64.2.76

Yeah, I'm not sure of the pit stops. Maybe he goes on the go...

I think Dean has guys to do that for him.

From RivertonPaul on Wed, May 20, 2009 at 11:27:57 from 67.42.27.114

Hilarious Paul. :) Perhaps this is something Dean can use for his next self-promotion.

Hey have you caught up on 24? I see that you are from Logan. That is God's country. Both my parents are from Logan. Providence and Nibley. Good luck with your running. Jack Bauer rocks!!!

From Jon on Wed, May 20, 2009 at 15:45:14 from 138.64.2.76

No, still 4 episodes back. Probably watch it next weekend. Yeah, I live in Logan- it's a nice town.
