9 or so north of 12th. Ran a few miles on the flat dirt canal road. Running on flat and smooth terrain is so much different than trails. I think I need a little more of that just to mix it up. Took the BST down to the nature center parking lot and back to 12th with the upper loop add on. Trail is in great shape, no mud, very little snow. Pretty dark the last couple miles.

Lots of the regular ultra/trail running folks out again tonight. Really good to see so many people getting after it consistently. There is something about watching groups of bright blue LED lights spread out behind me on a dark trail that gets me fired up to run a 100 miler.

9 miles or so, vert? 1500.

Dry - Yeah that sounds nice... :) Solid outing.

Looks like you've got some solid 100 miler plans for this year! I was sorry to see that you didn't get into Wasatch.

Thanks Dors! Yes a few 100's in the plans. I actually didn't put in for Wasatch, gotta go kill a Bear first.

Crazy! Anytime I talked about Wasatch I thought you had put in...well at least I don't have to feel bad about it now!! :)

Oh no, I didn't put in this year - I'll be pacing Jun. But most of the fellas, Jun, Jsh, Scott and Matt VH got in, so it should be a good time!

Sweet skiing pic! Just come find me after the race please....

Thanks on the ski pic, I think there is a part of my brain having some real issues with the lack-o-snow. I will come find you, but you better save me some soup!
