Nice week of running! Glad you're feeling better. I just saw that you're doing the Crack of Dawn. I'll sign up for that. It's a fun one!

Adam, This will be my first time running it. It is my shake out before the marathon... Should be fun. Glad you will be there.

I am wonderung whhat is the Suicide Loop? Is it as brutal as it sounds?

Thomas, It is the loop past Suicide Rock (http://www.saltlakemagazine.com/blog/2012/04/25/take-a-hike-parleys-dog-creek-to-suicide-rock/). It is a decent loop but there are harder. Hope you three have a great Easter!

I would like to join you when you do it again, maybe next week. I can run to work, too, and we meet somewhere on the campus.
