I have been battling a bad stomach bug the last 3 days.  Not quite 100% yet, but good enough to run.  I lost 3 pounds so far this week without running, due to the illness.

6.50 easy miles on a windy morning.

7.00 easy miles on a calm morning.

I was looking at possible marathons for the year and just found out that the Park City Marathon is no longer running.  It's last year was 2014.  That is sad to me as I completed it 12 times in a row (2001-2012) and it was my FIRST.  It was a tough one, but I liked it because, due to the toughness, the expectations were lower and I could just enjoy the day.  There have been so many races added in that timeframe (Big Cottonwood, Huntsville, etc) that older races are suffering.  Top of Utah only has about 1/4 of the finishers it used to have.  Sad...

It was windy and raining lightly when I left.  It was windier and rained pretty hard on me the last 2.5 miles.  I was soaked to the skin.

It was 70 degrees....sleeveless shirt weather.

I ran 7.00 miles and saw a green lizard and a green Lambourghini in the same neighborhood.  Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Oh ya....I'm in Florida on vacation!
