Ridiculing the Ultramarathon Runners

I got a big kick out of this. Obviously playing on the tendancy to hallucinate during very long runs. It has never been this bad for me.

Hiking Horsetooth Falls






Ricki and I took Kre up to Horsetooth Falls today. It was a beautiful day, and after the serious snow/rain we had this last weekend we heard the falls were actually flowing. Normally it is a trickle. I've seen it flowing once before but Ricki never had. So while Brig was at school we ran up for a quick hike. Kre did great and Ricki has definatly decided she is sick of being pregnant. I must warn you that I am posting this while she is gone. I do not have preauthorization to post this picture of her.

Out Running


I know, most of you don't care about my running. But I love to do it and think that I get to do it in some pretty amazing places. This weekend wsa hard becausse it was the third week of my four week rotation. I run hard/long for three weeks and then cut my mileage back for a week to give my body a break. By the third week I'm usually pretty tired. This weekend was one of those strange tiems I actually wanted some company. Unfortunatly several of the other distance runners were heading up to Rocky Mountain National Park for some high elevation training and it wasn't my free Saturday. I needed to get the run done early enough to hang out with the family. It was a bit cool, and the wind was stronger than I anticipated. But I got it in, and the trails were beautiful.
