When you are comfortable wearing shorts, long sleeve and gloves, the weather is perfect.

Had an amazing time at the Ragnar Appalachians Trail event. Our team, Old And In The Way, did great and placed 3rd in the mixed masters category. I was proud to captain these tough nuts. Strength of mind, body and soul for 25 hours

His book was empowering. There’s always so much you can’t control. But attitude and perspective are things you can control. David will be good because he is awesome!

Got pinched between 2 bears on the trail this morning. Big one seemed curious about me. Smaller one was nervous. Eventually the smaller one moved far enough from t by trail to give me an opportunity to get out. Big one was closing the gap.

Almost had a bad experience running down hill on the trail. We both startled each other. Skunk was locked and loaded. But it abstained from violence as I slowly gave it a wide berth. Never know what you’re going to see on the morning runs.

May 2, 2010 I was in the first wave of the first Tough Mudder. While fun, didn’t expect to ever do it again. Trail races more enjoyable for me and much less expensive. But I did another this weekend with 11 work colleagues. Lots of fun and great teamwork. Nice way to get to know people better

After a brief health issue at the end of last week…back on track this week. Hitting the gym and the trails and feeling normal again.
Going to do a tough mudder for fun with work friends next week.

last stretch of the legs before Saturday race in the Gunks. Body is ready. Unfortunately looking like it will be a wet 10 miles. With steep rocky terrain, should be a slow, uncomfortable experience.
