AM- 5.5 with Dave and Russell. People generally don't really believe that I'm retired from racing. And if they do believe me, they don't really know how to react or what to say. I'm not sure they know they can talk to me about things other than running.

No running. But I was gone for 14 hours to take my 2 oldest girls rafting. Even though it was overcast and rainy, we had a grand old time. Kinley loved the rapids (tornado water, as she called it). Aspen loved the smooth parts. We even had 2 adults get tossed from our boat.
