Oh what a beautiful morn--ing, oh what a beautiful day.  I've got a beautiful feeling everythings going my way.

 Oh what I great day I have had already.  I drove out to the west side and ran with Leslie on a trail in Millcreek canyon.  I've never really run on a trail before, and now I have, gasp, dirty feet! It was a blast.  It was slow, it was cool, it was scenic, it was quite, there was no exhaust, there was shade.  Honestly I don't think it could have been any better.

Thanks Leslie for letting me come with you it was a great morning :)

Glad you had a good time. Sorry I wasn't able to make it - but my dad needed me for his surgery. We are running the trail on Monday morning if you want to join us.
