Jeremy Ranch Road with Kramer. Rainy, almost cold at some points. FYI, the Jeremy Ranch Road is pretty treacherous when muddy. There's a lot of clay and it gets really slippery.

I saw something new today. In my years of running I've come across a lot of interesting and strange things while running but today was brand new. A team of 16 sled dogs training along the road. All of them husky's of course pulling several people on this all-terrain looking cart. Now I know what those Iditarod type dogs do for training in the summer. 

We went to the Blue Plate for breakfast after with Kramer as well and bumped into Ben Saarel and his dad. We had a great conversation about training, college recruiting, the University of Colorado, etc. The Saarel's are really good people. Typical of most runners when you think about it - taking almost as much interest in the success of others as they do in their own success.

I felt great on the run so I'm enthused about that as well. 

PM: 3 mile walk.

That's a great all-around morning.

The dogs probably belong to Fernando Ramirez. He's a good runner as well.

What does feeling enthused mean as applied to the DesNews Marathon?
