Had a nice longer run today. My IT band was starting to bug me a bit, not sure how much of it was the distance or it being so cold. I am sure it was a mixture of both. Average pace was pretty slow, but we had some good hills.

Hey thanks Rob. How have you been? How did this years X-country team perform? Wanted to let you know we will be back in the States starting March-ish. Hopefully we'll make it back to Utah this coming summer. Hope all is well.

Everything's good. My girls and boys teams both won their region championships. They did less well at state however, Still, not bad.

It's been quite an adventure for you guys the last few years. I'm sure you'll be glad to be home.
