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- frisbee monday. fun game- my team was shorthanded the whole time (6v7, then 5v6) but won 5-2 at the end. If you win when you have an extra person, it's kind of expected. But if you win when down a person, it's that much better. Still warm out- fall has to come at some point, right?

AM- working from home today. 6 miles, 8:20-8:00 pace. I can't believe how slow I am these days. Then again, I think I've had a permanent shift and the old days are never coming back.

Lunch- ultimate frisbee. My team won the game at the end 5-0. Pretty good.

The Bear 100 is today. I was reading updates and realized they changed the course from Logan River to Ranger Dip. I spent a while figuring out the new path. I know they were expecting terrible weather (cold, rain, snow, wind). I started looking on facebook and discovered they actually changed to a snow course this year, and out-and-back to Tony Grove. Oofdah, that's a big change. Here's wishing well to all the racers.
