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.

PM- Start the taper for my 30 mile race this weekend in Virginia.  Easy 12 miles today in about 1:50 with 2150 ft climbing.  Of course, I ran it all at Paris Mountain, doing a few random loops.  Saw a few runners out today, and hikers and bikers.  Nice evening.  And I finished at 8:15, so the first time this week I finished while it was still somewhat light (which results in 2-3 min faster per mile versus the dark).  Left ankle is a bit tweaked from rolling it on Monday, but nothing some ice shouldn't fix.

Good to see your settling in out there. It still sucks you had to move but such as life.

Are you still wanting/ planing on coming out to try and do R2R2R this fall? If so I'd love to get something in the works as far as a plan.

Good luck this weekend.

Clyde- If I have to come to Utah for any reason (i.e. winterize my house, pack my house, etc), I will try to fit in the R2R2R. Problem is I have no idea when that may be. Sorry- best I can tell you right now. But enough FRB guys are interested that you guys can definitely go without me.
