It is telling that 6.5 hours of sleep means that you slept in. Nice miles, I enjoyed that Memory Grove route.

Have you been up City Creek yet?

If you are up for an early AM run (7ish) I think we should do it this Saturday.

Anyone else seeing this that wants to give it a try let me know.

I haven't been up City Creek. It sounds like fun, the weather this week may not be the best. Let's keep in touch.

I want a longer run. My favorite way to do this one would be to meet at Popperton Park (near the Shriners Hospital). Run down to City Creek and then all the way up to the top. Turn around and have some fun on the downhill. Then an easy cool down back up to the cars... Let me know if you are interested.
