Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

6 miles in just under 51 minutes.

After running longer than planned on Saturday I did not feel sore at all when just walking around, however when running this morning I could feel that I am not completely recovered yet, so I took things really easy and slow this morning.

I ran in the national forest near devils canyon in Southern Utah this morning. The run was above 7000 ft elevation, but I felt surprisingly good considering that a week ago I was living at about 950 ft elevation. I saw a bunch of deer while out running, but unfortunately I also saw 3 dead deer later while driving

I ran up in the mountains West of Boulder, CO this morning after arriving in Boulder to attend a conference for the American Society of Biomechanics. As I was camping up in the mountains, my run was over 8500 ft elevation. Even more so than yesterday I was surprised at how relaxed my breathing felt. I was worried about bears due to seeing lots of signs warning about them, so I went running with a large knife just in case. I'm not sure how much good it would have done me in the event that I did have a bear encounter.

6 miles (maybe a little more) in 45:11.

I felt a little tired this morning, maybe because I was walking around a lot at the conference yesterday, and didn't get enough sleep last night. I ran down in Boulder on a trail going through the city. There were a lot of people exercising on the trail, plus a lot of homeless people too, I was surprised by the shear numbers of them all.

My friend Harsh wanted me to try out his hoka's, and I ran in those. It took a while to get used to running in them as I felt uncomfortable for a good portion of the run. Harsh then gave me the shoes, so I will get a little more time to decide what I think about the shoes.

I ran down in Boulder again, with the run above 5000 ft. I felt really good today, and I was cruising along at low 7:00 pace for most of the run. I picked it up some for a bit later on in because an older guy sped up to follow me after I passed him, and his music kind of irritated me.

I ran in Santa Fe, NM this morning on my way back to AZ after ASB. This was the fourth state I have gone running in this week. Elevation for the run was over 6500 ft, and yet again I was surprised at how easy it felt to run at higher elevation. After running I finished driving to AZ, arriving around 5:00 PM.
