Bill, saw you on the lone faithfuls list. Do you ever hit the trails outside of Pocatello? I and a couple of friends could use and introduction to those trails. I have ventured out from one of the City Ck. parking areas a couple of times, but there looks to be a lot out there. Let me know if you are planning something or need some company. I'm building up the miles for the RONR 108K. I need some trail work.

I ran the first 20 miles of the marathon route.

The sky looked completely overcast from all the smoke.  Didn't see any other runners until I caught some half-marathoners around mile 18.  Maybe that was a sign I shouldn't have been out there either.

20.12 smoky miles.
