11:45 am - Denver, Colorado - 8.0 miles @ 7:12 pace - 57:39

I had a quick work trip to Denver today (flew out at 7:00 am and flew home @ 5:30 pm) and figured I would have time to put in the planned 11 miles today. However, 11 miles became 8 miles after I couldn't sleep last night (I was rolling through my head the idea of doing the Pony Express 50 miler next year and only mustered up a couple hours of sleep) and the parkway trail that I chose to run on ended up being under constrution and forced me into all sorts of detours. At mile 2 I had to use the facilities at the local burger joint but the men's toilet was clogged so I promply used the womens (It was a single sitter with a locking door). I figured I had had enought adventure going out 4 miles and decided to turn it back. All things being said the run went well and all is fine.

On a side note - my 4 year old thought that I ran the entire night Friday night since I was running a short 4 while he went to bed and I got up and ran 14 in the morning before he got up. He was rather impressed (perhaps one day).

Thanks allie and Rachel - I did two 50 mile hikes/walks when I was 12 & 13 (a boy scout activity) the first taking 17.5 hours and the second taking 12.5 hours. I think the PET 50 my be up my ally.

Jake - I think I am in - let me know if anything changes plan wise.
