great running your commute, mine isnt far enough I am only about 1 mile from work,but I could jog there! great mileage for the day again, :-)

Thanks Sam. Door-to-door the distance is 2.5 mi. I'll often run somewhere else on the way to boost the mileage. The commute runs sure help. My wife and I share a car so whenever she needs it I'll bring an extra lunch and change of clothes the day before. Then there is a shower in my building when I get in.

Adam, Is meeting at Hogle Zoo ok? Then going up the canyon for 18-20 miles total?

Up and down that is.. Not all the way up!
