When I got home from my run this morning I had an email that I have been accepted to run Boston 2017.  Yea!

Blake and I did a 26 mile round trip run from my house to the top of Crossman Peak which is over a 4000 foot climb and then decent.  It was only 70 degrees when we left (over 20 degrees cooler than when I did the same run 2 weeks ago.) It was way easier.  We were about 10 minutes faster on the ascent than I was 2 weeks ago, but on the descent Blake started hurting and mildly cramping so we were about 8 minutes slower on the descent than I was last time.  Anyways we both survived and I felt really good.  Grand Canyon R2R2R is 4 weeks away!

Nice job. Sounds like a tough run, but very satisfying.
