Valentines day 5 hr Run

LIFE DOES NOT CONSIST OF GAZING AT EACH OTHER,
BUT LOOKING TOGETHER IN THE SAME DIRECTION

While other romantics were lying in bed, drinking champagne,eating strawberries, we were running the trails, drinking carbopro and eating gels!  Too funny!

We had a most rewarding 5 hour/ 25 mile run  through most of the Diez Vista course.  It is probably the best running I have seen Jim do.  He has finally learned to eat and drink enough on the run. 
As you Can see, Jim isn't a little guy, so nutrition is even more important for him.
( though I think he is standing a little taller for the pic- goof!)


Our great friend Marc came with us ...He led most of the way.
He may have been a bit 'spacey' near the end as he mentioned something about going onto the space-ship up ahead. But it was actually the sun shining beautifully thru the trees.

Felt great at the end so we flew down the last hill just for fun.

Finished Valentines day watching the Olympics, sharing gifts, and eating...lots of eating.  The wine may not help with recovery, but hey, its Valentines day. You gotta live a little.

Life's a garden, Dig it!
