Needed to get away from sitting on my butt and working and running on pavement/treadmills, so packed up this morning and headed out to Antelope Island. Lots of people out there this morning - I mentioned to Jim Skaggs that I remember the days when I would be the only runner on the island - not anymore.

14 miles. I was ready to be done at 10, but wanted to do over 13 - so was glad I was on a loop that would force me to get the mileage in. Felt some IT Band pain on the last downhills, so need to so some stretching and rolling later.

So nice to trip over rocks and sand and mud. I love trail running. :)

So sad I didn't get to see you. I'm glad you had a good run though.

DANG IT that I did not run in to you somewhere out there. I saw someone I thought was you once, but it was just a look alike! Bummer.
