I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Can you fill me in on what the Planet Walk is? I have heard it mentioned several times.

From Jon on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 13:08:40

That is a secret. Only people lucky enough to run on Planet Walk with Paul, Cody, or myself may know the reason. I will say this- we had 2 trails that ran along the Logan river and struggled to differentiate between them in our blog posts. About a year ago, something changed such that one irrevocably became the Logan River trail, and the other became Planet Walk. But I can't tell you where the name "Planet Walk" came from- I would have to kill you if I did. :) If you ever come to Logan and want to run it, I can show you the reason.

From Harris on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 15:21:36

Wow! I might have to make the trip sometime. I am definitely intrigued now. However, I do remember Logan or someone else making fun of the Planet Walk awhile back. It might be a big let down after you have built it up so big.

I almost forgot, are you planning on running St. george this year? I saw your goals as a sub 2:35 marathon. I am planning on making a big 2:29 push, so I expect you to be there with me.

From Jon on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 15:35:21

Let down? LET DOWN??? No way! And don't let Logan spoil it for you.

I'm aiming for 2:35 at Ogden. Less than 50% odds that I run St. George- I'm planning to run some trail marathons around that time instead. If I do St. George, though, I will definitely push for sub 2:30.

Whatever you are doing St. George marathon..i thought we talked about "another Marathon" you know which one i am talking about!!

From marci on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 19:37:56

oh and i see that the Bear 100 on your schedule!!!

From Jon on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 20:10:24

Yeah, my schedule shows the Bear with a question mark and NYC with a question mark. Isn't that what we discussed?

From paul on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 20:18:02

Logan doesn't know what he's talking about. He's got that Dixie fever or something, it's messing with his head.

From marci on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 17:38:55

nope that is NOT what we discussed...keep thinking.

From Jon on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 18:22:00

Ummm... remind me.
