Ran with Matt Walch, the gully longer run and then a few miles in the part of of the lower gully east of the tunnel, or Narnia as it used to be called, on a day like this you can see why, its full of giant 5-6 foot high plants and it looks like a jungle, its almost enough to make you think you left Utah. It was a nice run! Last week before my mission, feeling very excited, but also pretty nervous. 2 years, its going to be a lot different around here when I get back. But I'm really excited to go and I know its the best way I could spend the next 2 years, and its the most important work I could be doing. I'm going to give all I can to being a great missionary. This last week before it starts I going to do make a little more noise and go out with even a little more bang, I'm going to try and break 17:00 at the sandy classic, which is good for that course. I'm also going to try and get a 20 mile day next Monday, a gully practice with the team and then a long run with Davis, it will be fun! I'm really going to miss it here, and I'm going to miss my team!

The 20 mile day is a maybe haha

That sounds good, runs like those are the reason Utah is a great place for runners!
