Snow shoe run up the Wellsvilles. Aside from right hip flexors I'm not really feeling this R2R2R. This is probably due to the 15 hour time it took this year getting everyone across.   Gonna take it easy for this week and maybe get ready for some road racing like I always think I will.

I would love for you to start road racing again. Maybe chase the sub 2:30 guy???

That has been a dream of mine for five years. I'm looking right now at Phoenix.

I'm actually on the bubble with Phoenix. I am training for it right now, but having a hard time locking down a place to stay without overpaying.Also trying to get comped but can't get the race director to write me back. Heard its a great course.

I have an aunt in Phoenix where I've stayed for a few races. Let me know if it gets closer and you don't have a room. She wouldn't mind at all. It's a good course. I ran it a few years ago totally out of shape and want to get back and try it again.

What is up with the hotel prices down there in February? I am looking at running the Lost Dutchman and all the hotels are $150+!

I bet they're cheaper in July.

Spring training drives up the hotel prices.

Nice R2Rx2 Steve. How many years in a row have you done it? Seems like its an annual thing.

Thanks. Yep I've done this a few times a year ever since running it first with Rob way back when.
