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- Pretty early run to get in a few miles before cleaning camp and heading home. Ankles and achilles were sore from yesterday's adventure and I kept turning my left ankle today. Lower legs are pretty swollen. Did an easy run- 3 laps of the scout swimming lake waiting for the sun to come up, then 4.5 miles out and back on the Little East Fork River trail again. Shoes were still wet from Thur so I was squishy the whole time. Finished with 7.5 miles in 1:13 and 1300 ft climbing.

Almost 18 hrs running this week. Plus highest mileage week of the year, which easily could have been 20 miles higher if I didn't have 2 super-slow runs. Going to do very easy Mon-Fri next week, then race Laurel Valley on Saturday. 35 miles across South Carolina in the middle of August with no aid stations. Genius.

100 mile week. Nice job.

One thing I learned today at my coaching clinic is that running is one of the most important things you can do to improve your running.

"One of the most important"? Not THE most important?

I could tell you that without a clinic. :)

How about you send me your clinic fee next time and I'll send you some more tidbits like that. Now where's my copy of Once a Runner?

Those triple digit weeks always amaze me. Especially with some of the adventures you had earning them. Congrats on what looks like a fun week.
