P.M. 3.6 Miles
Dan, Liv and Foster came to town tonight. They got to our house around ~8:30 pm. They drove all the way from Fargo, it sounded like Foster did well, but it was still a long drive. They are in town and staying at our house for a couple of days before we head out to Buena Vista to compete in the Collegiate Peaks 50 Mile Trail Race. Dan and I went for a run this evening after they got to town to get his legs and lungs working again after the long trip.

A.M. 6.5
Headed out to Hidden Mesa with Dan and Liv. I was excited to show Dan this trail that I run so often. Liv was going to run as much of it as she could as well. We all three took off, Liv fell back a bit to keep at her own pace. Dan and I finished the whole loop, Liv stayed back a bit and did about 3/4 of the run. So far, very impressed with both of their running abilities.

A.M. ~3.5
In Buena Vista, Dan and I decided to check out the course we would be running 50 miles on tomorrow. I was not impressed. What we had run so far, was pretty tough. The first part we ran on was a steep incline for close to a mile I bet. It took a lot of energy to get up it. I think we were both a little nervous after running that section for what we would be in store for tomorrow.
