AM - 6 miles or so this morning.  In St Pete for a bit.  Planned to connect with the long running group this morning but had some issues arise that got me out too late.  Saw a few groups but not the right ones.  Anyway - decent run after a couple of days rest to the foot. Some discomfort after.

No West Virginia runs this year? I assume I would have heard if you were coming to Utah.

Hey Bret - would have been a welcome surprise to see you running by. Drop me a line if you're around for any length of time and want to run. Any excuse to get out helps me now, and I will do whatever I can to keep up with you.

Different plans this year Rob. Bradlea scheduled surgery on her jaw during her winter break - and the treating physician/surgeon is in St. Pete - from before our move. So we are here for that and the recovery period. May be out in Utah in Feb. Hear you are getting lots of snow - my colleague is in Midway and sending photo updates. She picked a great time to go for snow.

Drew - thanks for the invite - I may take you up on it either Thursday or anytime this weekend. My running is poor at best - so if you don't mind some slow miles - I would enjoy catching up with you.
