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!

In Idaho Falls for the weekend, so I was able to run with jtshad. I always look forward to our runs. We did just under 12 miles together, kind of just cruising around town and the river. Very quiet, peaceful morning- most of the people are still asleep, resting their ears and eyes from the amazing firework display they do here. Good run with him- started off pretty fast and gradually slowed a bit. Stopped by his house, then I ran back to my car with a small loop around Community Park to try to get around 13 miles. Nice day out. Thanks for the run, Jeff, and enjoy staining your deck! 1:35:31.

My week of R&R is over- next week I plan to be around 60-70 miles, depending how I feel, then up to 80+ for the rest of the month.

Thanks for the run, Jon. I, too, always enjoy our runs and conversation.

The deck staining went well, it looks great! The mop idea worked pretty good, just a few touch ups needed.

Sorry we never hooked up to watch the 10,000m and 5000m races, but Saturday just got busy with housework!

P.S. You have a beautiful family, your girls are adorable!

Glad to hear your deck looks good. Beautiful yard, by the way.

I watched more on Sunday and thought you might call then- but I think all the races are on nbcolympics.com now, if you want to watch them.

Did you see my question about foot treatments? I put it on your race report last week.

Thanks- I'm biased, but I think they are cute, too. It was nice meeting your great kids, too.

I thought about calling on Sunday but got caught up in more housework and playing with kids.

I responded to your question about treatments...rest and relacing helped me the most and ibuprofen. Don't know if icing would help or not, but I don't think it could hurt.

Is it feeling any better?
