That is a fast run today after your high mileage Sat!!!

Wow, nice mileage and splits first day off a long long trail run on Sat. I was driving to the chapel where the "red" shuttle bus to the Draper Temple Open House; and thought I crossed a trail. It's just east of 1300 E. It must be the Porter Rockwell Trail. I thought about you and Leslie. Good job today!

Thanks for the compliments, friends!

Smooth - that was actually the Draper Canal Trail. If you take the shuttle bus up to the temple, where it passes the South Mountain Bridge is where the Porter Rockwell Trail crosses.

When are you going to run it with us?

Nice workout ;) You are a speed machine :)

Maurine,

I can run with you the Sat before Boston, April 11, I'm doing a 12 miler. Tell me what you think.

GREAT WORKOUT! I need to get back to doing sprints, they are so good for you (and they some to kick my weight loss into gear---but then I would have to stop eating cookies, too.)

From Maurine/Tarzan on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 19:56:07 from 97.117.61.26

Smooth - I should be back to running that far by the 11th. That would be fun.

Kelli - nothing will get me to give up all my junk food. Some, yes. All, never. Bwahahahaha!
