Recovery run on the Treadmill. Crazy with how much snow has come in 3 days. We got another 6 inches last night in North Ogden. Crazy icy roads still, hopefully it can warm up so the ice will melt. Getting tired of the Treadmill already, going to be a long winter. Also I decided that I really dont mind the cold during the winter, I just really dislike the Snow. If I could just get a solid job in STG I would be down there next week. Hey Holt if you read this get working for me huh!?

You know I am always entertaining the idea of moving south. Right now would be perfect. I've sold my house already and could jump ship ASAP! Problem is convincing my wife....

Ben,

My only goal for 2016 is to beat you in the marathon. My run today was in 50+ degree weather. It was perfect. Would love to have you come down. It is worth it during this time of year.

Riley,

Dave's finger paintings do suck.

Dave,

Since you are retired from marathons now, I am planning on making a comeback and showcasing my talent in 2016.
