San Juan Mountains

Last week Tim F and I headed up to Silverton, Colorado for 3 days of trail running in the San Juan Mountains.  We logged 49 miles in 3 days in some amazing country.  At one point I turned to Tim and said "we're living a dream".  It was awesome.  Check out the link below for a summary of the trip.

Wildfires exploded this past week throughout Colorado and the Front Range.  5 days of 100 degrees tied a Colorado record and air quality has been terrible.  It's made it tough to run so I've had to head indoors on the treadmill for a few runs.  It's not fun but I have to get the miles in.  I'm really hoping temps improve and we get some rain.  It's tough to see the damage and it's sad not to be running on the trails.

North Fork 50k is on Saturday.  Temps in the high 80's are expected.  I'm looking forward to the race.  Despite the heat I'm hoping to trim about 15 minutes off of last years time.  

July is crunch time.  Time to put in the work.
