Ran the Falcon Trail at the Air force Academy….and was it TOUGH. Gnarly singletrack with a bunch of hills. In fact, I know that I ran 2 miles up a hill, 1/2 way into the run. Anyway, I had to walk the last mile or so. Just too much for an old guy like me. [...]

LONG Run(and an airplane)

Me and pooch on Wed.

Tough day of training
Today was a tough day of training. Because of the BEAUTIFUL weather, me and Larry had to play golf. Ok, at least we walked. Actually, I ran 5 miles yesterday and felt great! Still got a long way to go before getting up to 26 miles, but I am getting there.

Golds
Me and the little woman joined Gold’s gym here in town. An awesome place with hundreds of treadmills and stuff. Even a “theater room”, with treadmills in a darkened movie theater, where you run and watch movies. Should be a great place to keep up the training until the weather improves out here.
