Lunch- 12 on a pretty warm day, the last while by myself.

Busy next few weeks- fly to Utah, run Logan Peak, drive to Idaho for a week, drive to Provo for another week, drive to Colorado to pace at the Hardrock 100, then fly home.  Wow.

You going to be able to squeeze in a run with me?

i want to run w/ Jon too! I'm even willing to make it a true trail run and bring my handheld bottles (which are really convenient but I won't admit it in public :-)

Hmm... well, I'm heading straight to Logan, then Idaho, then Provo, then Colorado. But... after I get back from Hardrock, I might be up for a run sometime July 16. Let's talk as it gets closer. I don't have anything planned that day (that I know of- wife has to confirm). I'll be staying in Tooele, though.

Jake, it's better to just admit that handhelds are the new "in" thing.

Why would a person stay in Tooele?

From Jake K on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 10:17:52 from 155.100.226.54

or Provo?!?!

My sis-in-law lives in Tooele. And I'm not staying in Provo, we're going to Aspen Grove camp up Provo Canyon past Sundance. Better?
