Ran w/ Josse, Ericka, & Brune up Provo Canyon to my favorite water fountain.  I remember that waterfountain from when it was just a pipe coming out of the ground and the path was not paved.  That water always runs so clear and cold and is the most delicious thing in the world come summer mornings.  I have no idea how fast or slow since I didn't bring the Garmin.  It started to rain really hard right when we were finishing the run.  Perfect timing.  The weather has been so perfectly cool for running.  I still would like a few more of those clear May skies sometime. But I have been loving the smell of the lilacs in my yard, my bleeding hearts are in full bloom and the hosta are all a few inches above the ground.  It's so much more green and lush this year because of the rain.

I love how the small things like the drinking fountain excite you! Good run today :)

It's so true...simple minds, simple pleasures.

True about the green-ness! I'm enjoying not paying to water my lawn, but I'd also like a little more warmth and sunshine.

Nice work on the run, I LOVE running w/out a garmin - makes it more enjoyable! I'm on a quest...we must run Ogden!

Looks like you're both IN! Good luck!

NICE run! You must have a beautiful yard/garden/lawn.

I miss that Provo Canyon trail!

Nan--still working on the 'in'. Here's hoping. I've sent the email. Anyone else with an entry let me know.

Smooth-- you've got to get down here now the snow's off the upper trail! I will for sure see you Saturday (at least I hope, spotting people at the finish line is trickier than it seems!).

Can't wait to see you at Ogden. I will be wearing the Boston teal color top and shorts.

Yes, looking forward to running up and down that trail and drinking from that sweet refreshing fountain.
