8.25 or so, lots of hills. I'm starting to think I'm going to go to SUU, it sounds like I could have a great career there, and my Dad was saying he's heard some good things about the school. Haven't heard from USU in a while, and SUU sounds awesome, I'm excited to run in college!!! I think my sickness is coming to an end, I'm still coughing but I think I'm getting better. Sub 2:00 this week, a sea level mile next week, and the Leadville Marathon the week after that. I'm going up to Leadville that Thursday to get a little more used to the elevation. Also might work in a sub 10:00 3200m sometime, maybe in California. Going to be an awesome summer! I'm think of doing the 800m either Wednesday or Friday.

When I was in Montreal in 1987 our mission apartment was right next to Pie IX Metro station, great running course around the stadium across the street! Maybe you'll get a companion from Park City :)

SUU definitely seems like the better decision haha, better team, athletes improve more, nationals, Cam Levins, ect.. That will be so cool to be on your team!!!

Dave, you went to Montreal on your mission?!? That's so awesome! I will definitely keep an eye out for that, hopefully I get to go there!

Dude SUU is really getting pretty solid. You should go there. Our top runners from 2011 and 2012 get back from missions this year and are going there. And josh Collins is going there

Yeah, SUU is getting so good, and they turn decent runners into great ones! I definitely want to run there, being on a nationally ranked team would be sweet!
