Orly and Kathy Montalvo came up for a visit this past weekend. The plan was to run as many rocky hills to ensure his shoes and gear are ready to tackle the Cactus Rose 100 at the end of the month. He is.

I, on the other hand, came to the grim realization that I need to run more. It became abundantly clear that my spotty training has yielded crappy performance. I know what to do. Run more.
