Morning run w/ Darin. It was hot. We were not motivated, but finished. We mostly talked about our chance meeting with Mr. President on Saturday. We're both thinking of sending the pictures we took with him, to him, in hopes we might get an autograph..

Just a short AM run w/ Darin. Saving ourselves for tomorrow's trail run. We're planning to run 1.5 - 2 hours in the morning - probably about 9-12 miles.

We had quite a train on the trail this morning on a hot summer morning. It was a good run. Darin, Zachary (Darin's son), Ryan, Connor, Jo, Ruthie, and Cora, and I hit the trail at 6:30.

I led the first 3 mile stretch, then was fired for going too fast. Is 9:30/mi really too fast??? :) I went to the back of the pack and after 6 miles, the ladies left.

The guys went out for a different loop. It definitely got tougher. I was glad to see the end of the trail after about 2 hours.

(didn't run into any ex-presidents today)
