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!

AM- 4:10 wake up call to get in 12 miles- I'm very tired. Followed that with 3 Einstein's bagels- cherry with strawberry spread, blueberry with almond-honey spread, and pumpkin with pumpkin. I guess that means I'm about even on calories today. Seems like a fair trade.

PM- 6 more. I just passed my total mileage from last year... and I have almost 1000 more miles planned this year! This is by far my highest year ever.

Definitely a fair trade, especially with the pumpkin spread. I love that stuff.

Yummy! I love bagels. Broncos do look good and they whipped my Cowboys. The Better team won.

Jon - when your running that early in the dark do you adjust your route for safety?

Kory- I always wear black clothes and run on the darkest roads.

Actually, I rarely run on the roads for more than a mile- my route is usually on Planet Walk (a trail) or the golf course. And, truth be told, ever since my dog incident, I usually do my morning runs in the gym. It's hard enough getting up at 4 am, and is mentally a lot easier for me when I know it will be warm, light, dog-free, with other people and some good sports and news on tv.
