Easy run in lane 8 of the Alta High track.

Picked up a new pair of Saucony Peregrine's on the way home to ease my transition into hard core trail racing.

PM: I did the Core H routine plus some push-ups and rope jumping. I'm good at that. Think I might have been a boxer in a previous life.

hope things are going well with the beard growing.

I was just going to ask how the beard was coming. Dreads could be fun too.

I decided against the beard. Mostly because it's about 100% gray and makes me look even older than I am. Brown hair, gray beard just looks weird.

I really like the idea Murphy! It will make you a Utah XC Legend.

I don't know, Rob... "As Graybeard Murphy emerged from the final forest section into the finishing stretch, Krar could be seen 50 meters back, bloodied and defeated"

Thanks for the mental image Doug. It has me pretty fired up.
