Yesterday I got a call from Jake inviting us up to a "cabin" in Heber City that his parents have rented for the week. The place sleeps about 20 people so we mooched our way into staying the night. The kids had a blast feeding the horses and checking out the property.

Went for a 15.5 mile run with Jake this morning in about two hours. Wandered through Heber City to Midway and back. I Did two miles before Jake and I started at my creaky old man pace so I wouldn't slow him down too much. Beautiful cool morning.

Jeff Shadley awesomely got me a free entry in the Pocatello Half Marathon over Labor Day weekend. So I guess I'm committed now.

I'll bet. How did Andrea do?

She kicked butt! She shot about 20 rounds with a 12 gauge

Life is good, eh? When do you head back to the classroom or did you already resume?

Good luck Rob, I think I may put that one on my list next year as it looks to be a pretty cool event.

Just got to figure a way to afford all of these races, especially when they are getting to be around a 100 bones plus or so a pop at some events plus travel expenses. Yikes..
