Attack!?

Wow, it looks like Ganda Man is smarting off about my running regime. Apparently I don't have as much free time to go out and run as many official ultras as he does. Oh well, I got nothing to prove to him. I know I can go out and run an ultra right now if I wanted to. You up still Ganda Man? You want to go crank out a quick 31 miles before work tomorrow? Call me.

Snow???

I forgot to mention what happened on my way back to the Airport from Farmington. We were about 15 minutes into our 3 hour trip when suddenly the temperature started dropping about 5 degrees a minute. We ended up dropping from 67 degrees to 33 degrees in a matter of minutes. Kinda of interesting, but to top it off I see some dense fog up ahead, but when I get to it I see it is actually some super heavy snowfall.

I pulled over and grabbed a quick picture on my phone:

Farmington, NM

So I spent the good part of last week in Farmington, NM on a work trip. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it turns out Farmington is a pretty cool town. It is only 45 minutes from Durango, CO and a 3 hour drive from Albuquerque.

The best part of the trip was finding some great hiking and running trails directly behind my hotel along the San Juan River. What these trails lacked in distance (only about 6 miles) they made up for in quality. Wish I would have taken some pictures on the blackberry, but I was to into the moment to think about that.

I managed to get 14 miles in on Tuesday by doing a couple of loops on the trails and then following an old back road for a few miles. Altogether I ended up with 23 miles for the three days I was there. I did a 18 mile run on Saturday to finish up the week with 49 miles.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I was one of the lucky passengers to get stranded on American Airlines. Luckily Southwest Airlines has a big presence in Albuquerque and was able to me and all my fellow American Airlines customers.
