It was 44 degrees this morning, a little better than yesterday and it felt just right.  I ran 13.21 miles with a few quicker miles but nothing serious.  I was tired by the end but it felt good to get back to a longer run today.

Tonight we are going to the Huey Lewis concert at the fair with a group of friends...it should be fun.

Huey Lewis should be fun. You running Top of Utah? I know you are probably planning on St. George so I'll look for you there.

Dustin,

I will not be running Top of Utah because I want to try to get a new PR at St. George. Here's hoping we have better weather than last year :)

Maybe I will run into you at the Huey Lewis concert, we are going too! I will have my cell phone on, give me a call. We are going with some friends from Utah.

Do you have turf or grandstand tickets? We are on the turf and will try to get up front!

Jeff,

We are in the stands....he puts on a good show. I saw him last October in Miami at our yearly convention for franchisees.
