Good news on the Kramer front. He went on a visit to Georgetown last weekend and they just offered him a FULL scholarship. They said they hand out between one and two of those each year. I'm pretty sure Georgetown is in the $50,000 range annually so this sport can pay off!

I just can't get into morning runs in the cold, dark Fall. Good thing you have a team to run with.

I looked at Moab 55k and it is all on trails that I Jeep on every summer! Awesome trail run. If I do this, I'm doing it for fun. Just a long trail jog.

Gemini Bridges to Poison Spider Mesa, one of my favorite trail systems down there.

That's some good news.

$62,000 annually according to what I just looked up. That makes a few morning runs worth it.

Good for him! Depending on what he studies $40,000-$60,000+ (for the lowly liberal arts/for business and sciences). A quality education is fantastic, doing so as debt free as possible is pretty rare, and from my corner EXTREMELY suggested.

That's awesome Rob! What other schools is he visiting? Or is Georgetown the way he's headed?

Chances he will go there?

That's great news for Kramer!
