Nothing to write home about.

Nice way to start your week!

I can't wait to show you the new trail I found!

Where did you find a new trail?

From leslie on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:45:21 from 76.23.61.78

you know the intersection on Wasatch where you go up the hill to go to Snowbird? It is off the road and goes all the way to the mouth of the canyon where the big sign is.

Teena - I always do better when I get back to my psycho life at work. Just busy coveting Davy Crockett's ability to run a marathon in the dark on a Monday morning before going to work.

Maurine ~ NICE start of the week. Oh man, Davy's night run is out of this world. He's one of a kind. Have a great week. I'm going bazzerg!

Great job maurine! Keep that IT band under control please!!!! dang things, who needs them anyway?

From Maurine/Tarzan on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 20:42:29 from 97.117.61.168

I guess we all do (need those IT bands). I am doing my best to get them back without pushing too hard. Maybe if I lost 20 or more pounds it would take some pressure off my legs.
