News stuff -
- Dave Scott thinks Kona ain’t fan friendly.
- a 100 blogs you should read instead of this one.
AM – basically decided it was time for some vertical. Coincidentally I ran into a few other folks that were of the same basic mindset. 
The pace was easy but my legs were letting me know that I had not done this sort of stuff in a bit. By the ladder I was reaffirming to myself that my choice to do only Green was a smart one.
It was a bit of a who’s who out there on the mountain today. In this pic alone you have a guy who won Western, a woman who once held the UTMB record, and two dudes who finished Nolans.
At the summit of Green (a whopping number 6 on the year) I was able to convince Todd to head down Bear Canyon and out with me. Actually a good number of folks who just happened to be out there were going that way down to then go back up Fern and grab a few more peaks. You can get an idea of the fun if you want.
Great to catch up with Todd. I had not run with him in a bit and we chatted up the old times, the old team, miles, marathons and Foo. Todd might be a bigger Foo fan than me. I learned that Todd actually was the singer in the first band that Shiflett (guitarist from Foo) was in, the Lost Kittens. Small world!
One of the things I yapped with Todd about was XC. Apparently when warming up at a race with a guy from San Diego at a race, the dude mentioned something I have often grumped about: how stupid it is that the CO guys put all their top masters across different teams.
Got out to see some donks in the afternoon (brought some spare apples) 
Evening – 5.2 miles dog jog.
