Met up with Bret Ferrier and Jon Heslop at the North Ogden Nature Center. Legs felt really, really good today. First time in probably a month that I felt like I had a spring in my step. Good sign for my Marathon this weekend.

Good luck with the marathon!! I decided to run Ogden 26.2... What did you decide. It was tough to pull the trigger, seriously a $7 convenience fee probably my last one...

I didn't sign up. I guess I am acting really selfish. But don't want to deal with the parkway situation until they resolve the congestion. Sad thing is I am probably going to do the half and it is only $5 less.
