Well the mind and body are both ready. One more month and it will be time to start throwing it down again. After the last few days of getting some miles in I feel good. The rest the last couple of months was just what I needed.

Started off the run today heading up into the reserve and then going over to the water tank and hitting turkey farm road for a few miles then hitting a trail on the left that dropped down into Winchester Hills. Once I was in Winchester I made my way over to the main road and followed it down to town until I hit Diagonal Street. Then over to main and up the hill to Skyline and back home.
I Googled it last night to scout out the territory and it said the run would be around 20 miles (pretty close).
Around mile 6 I found a hunting knife in the middle of the dirt road so I packed it home (not fun). Not too comfortable bouncing around clipped to my shorts. But hey it’s a pretty sweet knife someone lost going down the road.
Anyways I feel good now and am getting ready to spend the weekend in Orem at a wrestling meet.

Clyde like you said, I think this winter has been pretty good for you. You're not missing a beat and hitting a number of long runs has really maintained a high level of base for you. Now when you start getting the rest of well-rounded training regimine going your going to be really cruising.

Good Job

Winchester! What a run.

I hope you guys have a good trip up north. Oh, congrats on the best find of the year so far. I think I've only found a nickle so far this year.
