Sitting around after church today with my feet up on the couch, wondering if I would ever get the motivation to get a run in with all the rain all day.  Then work called and asked if I wanted to do a short turn, so I jumped up and took my son with me to Denver.  Wouldn't you believe it, the weather in Denver was 75 degrees and sunshine and I got the nicest 6 mile run in before heading back to Utah. 

We get to spend Memorial Day with family at the cemetaries in Salt Lake and then I have a three day mini vacation in Fairbanks, Alaska.  Actually it's work, but one flight up Monday night and one flight back Thursday morning with nothing in between.  I'm excited to catch some of the best trail running in the country for a few days.

Just wondering, why do you live in Logan if you fly out of SLC? Just think how much more you could run if you didn't have to drive so much. :) Alaska sounds nice.

I wonder that all the time. Sometimes it feels like I do everything in Salt Lake. We also fly out of Long Beach, Denver, Boise and Milwaukee and I decided long ago that I would live where ever I wanted with this job, I wasn't going to move again.
