17.3 miles in two hours on the hilly Sugarhouse Park road loop. Windy and brisk out and I'm getting tired of leaning into cold 20 mph winds.

And why aren't the drinking fountains on in Sugarhouse Park as we approach mid May? And why can't Salt Lake City clean off the gang grafitti and tags all over the park restrooms and playground structures? Ditto for the lewd comments in all of the park restrooms. Are they trying to make sure families don't take their kids to the park anymore?

Just had to vent.

Seriously, I stopped at the park here in Logan last week on a 15 miler and had the same experience.

I always laughed about the restrooms until my kids are old enough to read so well now. do you think the women's are as bad as ours?

I hate when the drinking fountains aren't on in the middle of the spring. It's even worse when the bathrooms aren't open! Don't they realize there are actually people using the park? (BTW, I don't think the women's bathrooms are as bad on the profanity front, but then again, I've never looked that closely!)

they had to shut the water off because we are in a drought.

Sadly, I have seen some unbelievably ugly comments in the womens bathrooms. :(
