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!

Lunch- ran 5.5 with Phil and Jim. First run since UROC- most of my soreness is gone, except in my hips. Definitely feel tired and sluggish, though- good thing I'm not trying to set a 5k PR anytime soon.

Want to see something really scary? Watch the photos of my finish, starting with the first, in slideshow mode. Hide your women and children first, though. (Yes, I'm very aware Burt and others will use these pictures to mock me extensively. Rightfully so.)

I just saw the photos-OMG...You ANIMAL!

I like # -010. It looks like you are skipping and snapping your fingers, and immediately made me think of the "Carlton" dance from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

You've gotten really skinny...I miss the old "fat Jon".

My other thought is that the only thing I'd like to do for 9.5 hours is sleep...

But congrats again. I imagine those photos capture the feeling pretty well.

Jake- yeah, 10 is definitely interesting. Of course, I look like I have Roid Rage on -015, and constipated in -016!

Paul- I was definitely excited. Threw my bottle and everything. Probably looked like a dork. No, definitely looked like a dork.
