20 mile Jeremy Ranch run with Jake, Nate, Fritz, Josh, and Chad. Great run, even better company (despite what Josh says :). Muddy! I threw in ~ 3.5 miles of marathon effort from miles 11-14.5 (Fritz joined me for a mile). Felt good, but those miles were tough due to the mud, hills, wind, and altitude (why couldn't we have just had a snow storm to make it more challenging?)

Did the 14.5 mile out-and-back, and then Jake, Nate, and I did a 5-mile trail run. Fun! But muddy! Worn out Kinvara 4's are not effective on muddy trails.  But, (Brandon, Collin and others): Jake and I are now trail runners! :)

I realized something this week. It's meaningless trivia, but here it is: I've run quite a streak of sequential times for half marathons (see below). From 1:06 to 1:20, I'm only missing 1:16 and 1:19 (and I hope to NEVER achieve those times). Hopefully I can extend the streak on the lower end :) I certainly would prefer NOT to have such a lengthy sequential streak (everything sub-1:10 would be much better), but this resulted from busy life events during the past decade :)
