AM: Ran 5 miles with Kim then a couple more solo. John A also joined us for about 4 miles, it was nice to chat with him a bit before he heads of to Oregon later today. Also today I need to hand out some big kudos to my boy Jansen and his city league baseball team the SF Red Sox. Division champs, city champs and now state champs after thrashing a Payson team last night 13-1 in the state championship game. Good job Jansen and go Red Sox!

Ave pace 9:20.

Late AM: 11 minutes on the bike then did core workout. By upping the resistance on the bike a couple of notches and keep rpms around 90 I was able to get my HR in the 120-130 range the last few minutes.

Where did Jansen get all that athletic talent? I thought the Lee family had some good runners and great musical talent and some good brains. I didn't know you were branching out into state champs of Baseball. Very neat!

Terry - Jansen takes after Kim's side. Those Stilson boys (and girl :)) are some fine athletes.

Thats right, I remember one of those Stilon boys dunking the basketball with ease.
