Up at a family reunion in Idaho this weekend. Last night I ate lots of junk and played cards until 1 a.m. Felt really sluggish when I started my run but after a mile or two I had my energy back and had a good run.

Rye - It was nine miles outside of Newdale, ID. Which is where my parents live. The name of the spot where I ran was Moody Meadows. It is on the edge of the Targhee National Forest.

Burt - Junk food is a regular part of my training diet.

You're supposed to eat junk food DURING the run...

Since my wife and I both come from large families, the summer seems like one big family reunion.
