16.2 mile run this morning. Up over the new overpass and along the freeway to the spooky tunnel that goes under the freeway. I've wanted to run under it and follow that trail for a while so today was the day. At the tunnels entrance I shouted to make sure there wasn't a vagabond sleeping inside and then I tip toed through the whole time thinking a group of snakes were going to attack me in the dark. Anyways I made it through and ran the trail up over the hill and back down around to GS- then home around Middleton. 

Good run. I really enjoyed running on the trail. I was there right when the sun was coming up and it made for a nice morning. The hamstrings are very tight and I just want to hold on to this week before getting a message on Saturday or so. I may be heading up to Provo today to meet someone who is buying my car.... we'll see if it all works out.

5 mile loop around GS. I'm selling my car to a lady in Ogden and am leaving today to meet her Friday morning to make the exchange in SLC. So I wanted to get the run over with before driving.

I'll be back Friday afternoon so I'm still in for the run on Saturday morning. Logan if you want to do the NEMC (National Elite Marathon Championship) course I'd be down with that.  Let me know what you guys want to do. 

3.2 mile out and back little shake out once I got up to Orem. I guess it's real- I'm really selling my car tomorrow and I'm sad now. For some reason I kind of hope it falls through and I can keep her a little longer. Not really but this is the first time I've been sad about selling off a car.

I always think the same thing when I go under that tunnel! I just know that some time I am going to trip on some bum sleeping in the middle of the thing.

I know you see signs of hobos stuff in the area and that would make a nice little hut for one. Although I was more scared of hitting a nest of snakes that had gone in there to cool off.... goose bumps just typing this .

I was thinking that it was a little weird that you would be sad about selling your car, but I would be the same way about the Jeep - even though it doesn't run half the time and I should get rid of it.

We are planning on DC at 5:00 Sat. morning to hit the purposed course!

Dave- Sounds good for tomorrow. I need something like your jeep now to go camping in. If it didn't break down on you I'd want to buy it.

See you tomorrow at 5am.
