Good training run for the Crack of Dawn 8k. It'll be a fun race.

I'm living at City Creek and run around the capitol and memorial grove quite a bit, hopefully I'll see you one of these days and we can catch up.

Actually ran that way this morning. What time do you normally run?

I usually get going around 6. I'm out of town from April 27-May 8 but hope to see you before or after

I should be in early the next couple of days, just not sure which ones I'll run by MG. I'll definitely keep an eye out for you.
