I ran with Josse and Ericka up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail.  So fun. It was windy and miserable getting up that hill at first, but once on the trail, protected by the mountain--the hillsides and the valley floor were bright green, the air was clear and clean, the lake was mirror blue, the sky was wide and brigh, and the mountain tops still capped with snow.  It took my breath away to look over the valley surrounded by the arms of our mountains.  Even as I sit here writing this my minds eye is still on top of the mountain.  I love when Josse takes me up there.  Gorgeous.  What  great way to start my morning.

Did you get in St. George's lottery? I didn't see your name.

NICE beautiful trail run with friends!

I think I didn't get in! I can't believe it. 5 years running with a team and I havn't received any word! I'll be crushed if I don't!

I didn't make the lottery. It's the first time in 5 years. I guess it happens to everyone. I just feel badly because I sign up with a team that drives here from CA. One of them would have been in the 10 year club this year.

What a bummer! I feel bad for you and your team. Hey, if this is your friend's 10th St. George, it will be guaranteed...as long as he/she has run 9 SGMs.

They emailed me back and said the 10 year guy could re enter. But it's a group thing--Most of the group are friends from way-way back. They run this race once a year to see each other (one half coming from CA, the other from Utah). Oh well. Catherine signed up for the Slam--so at least she and the 10 year guy can do it. I have been wanting to do the Marine Corps Marathon in DC anyway--or even the NYC. So that does free me up to persue those two if I'd like. Oh well.

Hey luz, I am thinking to do the ING Hartford marathon Oct 9th. The Marine Corps and NYC are both full :( I missed the boats on those two. If you want to do Hartford we could bunk up.

Michelle, let's chat about Hartford. Call me for lunch this week and we'll discuss. I was thinking of taking the charity ticket for Marine Corps or NYC becaue I have places to stay for free in those cities (good friends). But I could be persuaded.
