I ran my first marathon as a teenager in 1981 with my Dad (The Coronado Marathon). Since then I've run St, George (3x) Utah Valley (3x) Ogden (1 full, 2 halves) Park City (1 x) Boston Marathon (1x) Washington DC (1x) Moab Half Marathon (6x) ,Ye Old Freedom Festival 5 & 10K (a million x) and many others.
But I'm all done with that now. I'm officially a jogger.

I wouldn't call not running for 5 days straight "tapering" exactly....but thank you! Park City should be an adventure, although it may be the Park City half marathon, 10K or 5K depending. Moving out of a house I've lived in for 12 years has absolutely kicked my butt. I am convinced I have hording disease and will never, EVER move again in my lifetime. If I do, I'm going to torch the place and walk away to wherever I'm heading. Moving is the WORST idea ever. It's literally like volunteering to be in the epicenter of an earthquake or tornado--on purpose. Thanks guys! Not sure Park City Marathon will be what I'd planned it to be, but whatever, at least I got all my crap out of my new house this week, my kids enrolled in school, and caught up on on work after the 2 1/2 weeks I was on vacation. Whew!

My mom is a pack-rat and when she dies there will be NO moving her things out. We're just going to get a can of gas, and a match...
Good luck with PC! After moving only once I resolved to never do it again, I can't imagine after 12 years. The exhaustion has got to be incredible!! Are you registered or just running with Catherine? Tom Slick on the blog is running the last 13 or so with someone, if you don't want to do it all you may be able to meet/drive up with him to catch her in the middle.

Luz..where did you go? Does this mean you don't live near your beautiful trail anymore? I'm sad....I'll miss seeing you on the trail randomly.

Fast Mommy-- I did move across town and I am sad, but it was the right thing to do for my family right now. I gave up the bike trail and am broken hearted about that part of the deal.
RAD-- I pilfered Park City because Cath really wanted to leave Utah with a bang so I tagged along (and then she ended up pushing/pulling me through the finish :) It was a great day though. I wouldn't change the experience of the things we talked about, the beauty or the challenge of the course, or the time spent outside in the beauty of park city. Not the best running effort, but totally worth the experience of going and doing it. It's just tough to move and run a marathon in the same week (and Park City-- MANOHMAN! Why didn't I know before hand that it was SEVENTEEN miles of freaky up hill insanity? Wow.
