     Nice day today. I ran up past the reservoir today and saw the loons for the first time this year.They come back every spring and hearing their eerie calls make it feel more like spring even though we're still hitting low 20s every morning. 9 miles at 8:25 AP

Low 20's every morning...That's crazy. I need to come up there and run another marathon if the weather is that cool. What's the weather like in mid summer for running marathons? Do they have any in July or August?

There's the Deseret News Marathon on July 24th in Salt Lake City. There are usually several from the blog that run either the marathon or the 10k every year. I might run the 10k. The marathon starts way early when it's cool but could hit 70s or 80s by the end. I can't think of any in August but the Pocatello Marathon is Sept. 3rd. I've run it twice and heat wasn't much of an issue.

Thanks for the info. I might just come up and run it! I'm wondering if the elevation would be a problem for me since I live way down here in Texas. I'm still wanting to BQ before September :)
