| It seems like it has been forever since I've run to Memory Grove. I had the car this morning so I did the out and back to the overlook. I tried to push the FireHouse Mile but it was a sad showing (6:17). The temp was nice though and always fun to see a nice sunrise after seeing a nice sunset. Avg. 8:33 HR 140

| Family fun run at the Jordan River Parkway. First time in awhile we had made it down there. With all the flooding this spring/early summer we had been avoiding it. The water is still very high but the trail was clear. Ran into Demetrio and Carol at the start of our run. It was nice to talk to them for a little. It has been awhile... During the run the girls enjoyed seeing a number of things including a snake and holding a dragonfly. Avg. 9:29 HR 131 (pushing both girls)
