February 8th, 2010 admin
I neglected to mention a very important thing in my post about “running” the Death Valley Trail Marathon yesterday. And that thing is that, as The Runner dragged me across the finish line, I thought to myself, “This was really easy and I bet I could have done this after swimming a couple miles and riding a century.” And it’s fortunate I thought that.

It’s been quite a weekend. For one thing, The Runner and I went to St. George to pre-ride the bike course and pre-run the marathon course for her upcoming Ironman .
