I ran "extreme gully" today with Garrett Jones. 13 miles in 1:36:09. The run consists of about 7.5 miles of rolling hills on the roads and about 5.5 miles of hilly trail with lots of sand and wood chip. It was a great day for running - sunny, light breeze, about 60.

Well, I won't be running Ogden next weekend which is why I ramped my mileage up again today. Both Garrett and Ryan Fuller qualified for state and so I'll be down in Provo coaching my runners. I'll miss running the race, but would much rather be with "my boys". I'll focus on Utah Valley in June.

Congrats to your boys, sorry I will not get a chance to meet you next weekend.

Me too Jeff. You know, my marathon times never quite match up with what my times in shorter races suggest I should be capable of running.In shorter races I pretty much always achieve my goals, but I don't feel I've ever run a genuine quality marathon. So, and comments you might have before June 12th would be welcome.
