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!

After getting 0 sleep Friday night, I finally got a 2 hour nap Saturday afternoon. But then I didn't get to sleep until almost 1 am Sat night and still woke up before 8 am- I guess I really don't need much sleep. 1.5 hour nap Sunday, then 6 hours of sleep Sunday night. I bagged the Monday morning run in order to sleep in the extra hour. I'll try to get at least 6-7 hours tonight.

PM- 8 easy miles. Felt very slow, but time was 1:00:23. Quads are very, very sore- about as bad as after a marathon. Not as much fatigue, just sore.

767- 278

Weight: 0.00

yeah, I was in a coma saturday night. My kids could have done anything they wanted and gotten away with it.

My wife went to a movie with a friend and I watched this kids. I put a DVD in for them about 8pm and have no recollection of what happened after that until Sunday morning.

Yeah, during my Saturday nap my wife put my daughter in the crib in the room with me for her nap. She cried the whole time. I woke up once or twice to look at her, but immediately fell back asleep. I usually can't sleep with a crying kid...

Jon, I slept through all three of our alarms that go off 10 minutes after each one and I didn't even hear them. I almost had to bag my run, because I got up so late.

You were smart for sleeping in and getting your run done tonight. Nice work on breaking the legs out again.
