Happy Birthday Tristan. Here is a picture of Tristan's first Rugby game. As anyone who knows how intense the game is the first game is never forgotten. It takes a tough strong hearted kid to play Hooker in his first game. I asked Tristan if he needed to come out when I saw him bleeding and he wouldn't
Rugby is a great sport to raise son's in. They learn that life can be miserable and tough sometimes but you have to keep playing. Keep up the good work and Happy Birthday.

About Me
- mountainrunnermike
- I am a Husband to my beautiful sweet wife Vickie, and a Father to "My Three Sons" Cotton, Tristan, and Justus. One of my greatest strengths is running long distances. I am not fast, but I can go forever. My favorite surfaces are high incline altitudes loaded with rocks, ruts, scree. I have completed 7 Squaw Peak 50 miler ultramarathons, 2 Wasatch 100 ultramarathons, 1 Katcina Mosa 100k, one Ten Peaks Utah ultra of 32 miles and one Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon, and countless 8 hour training runs through the Wasatch Mountains. I did one road marathon and swore to never do one again. If it is not on dirt I don't touch it. I prefer snowshoeing in the winter for conditioning and will post some great pictures of the Wasatch mountains covered in snow this winter.

Why you leave me Tula....
My wife is leaving for a week to go to Mexico. You would think I would be snowshoeing each day and getting some altitude between me and the smog. But this time I took on a painting job. Oh well next week. Besides no snow in the forecast. As Garth puts it I had better do my "Snow Dance".

Happy Birthday Vickie and Cotton
Today is my sweet wife Vickie's Birthday along with my oldest son Cotton.
I remember when Vickie went into labor 17 years ago. She got very sick, and has complications.
The Doctor would not come in for the C-section until the football game was over. I was,(OK put it nicely) very upset.
Cotton came into our lives and has been a blessing from Heaven. He has my good looks, my same likes, OK I was not any good at band, loves competition and Loves to run over people with a rugby ball in his hands.
Cotton is much more solid than he looks and he does look solid. Just have him wrestle you in the basement!. I can still take him though...... Its all in the heart!!!!
Cotton's Mom Vickie was such a blessing in my lost life. Although I thought I was doing what I thought I should, she has given me such direction in my life. I give her all the credit for all the accomplishments I have had. Even the 2 -100 mile wasatch mountain runs I finished. After 30+ hours in the mountains I could not wait to see her. She got me across the finish line. She is truly my BRIDE!!!
Just as the Doctor would not deliver Cotton until the game was over they have to wait for me to frost the birthday cake until the Eagles dallas game is over. Notice I did not give dallas the capital "D". I do not like dallas. I am an Eagles man all the way. GO Eagles!!!!
Cottons first Rugby meeting is Monday. All the boys are getting excited, but not as much as me!!! Work hard and get in shape boys. I want everyone safe.
Happy Birthday Vickie and Cotton
