Ran over to the new trail that goes down south of the Parkway where the cotton days 10k is supposed to be run. Nice quiet trail along the virgin river to start, then a gruesome hill to finish the 10k that goes out to the fairgrounds and back. Glad I am not running that one! DHHS has a fundraiser 5k the same morning on the 9th of may (cotton days is at 6pm!) and my neice goes there so I am supporting that instead. If you want to run it let me know and I can get you signed up!

Nimbus 10 Blue Miles: 8.50

Cant believe you slept in again you slacker... Oh wait that was me. And I even went to bed early last night so I'd be nice and refreshed for the run. Want to shoot for tomorrow morning? I'll be there either way.

Yeah James, I got there like 6:03 and thought, "that punk couldn't wait 3 minutes!" So I left and ran towards your house just in case. after I got to Cottonmill I just kept going and thought the new trail might be nice. we should do that one again sometime. Anyway, I will be there tomorrow!
