Fifteen miles up at Alta with the team. The run kicked my but today. My boys looked good though. They are flying around the campground at the top of Albion Basin. Flying of course being relative at ten thousand feet. They've made a lot of progress over the past few weeks.

To top it off, I ended up spending the day up at Snowbird zip lining, alpine sliding, tram riding, and such when I really just wanted to come home and nap.

Nice training Rob. I think it's looking good for a Fall marathon

Maybe Fall R2R2R but no marathon!

Can I stay at your house for the TOU Half?

Also, we have to do Alta Peruvian and stay over night up there right?

You guys are getting in some great runs at Alta. I'll come by and join in one of these weeks now that my hip is finally coming back to me!

Rob/Steve - Based on your talking up the Alta Peruvian, I signed up and am planning to stay over with the family. Since it appears to be the final year, you have got to give it a fond farewell.

Collin - I here 7% grade down is wonderful hip therapy as is beer after a race.
