Easy warm-up and some stretching then 8 miles on the Porter Rockwell Trail in that suburban paradise, Draper Utah. Ran 57:50.

Porter Rockwell was "The Destroying Angel of Mormondom" according to the  wikipedia article on him. A good Porter Rockwell quote..."I never killed anyone that didn't need killing". 

My team is all looking good but it looks like most of them will miss the rest of the summer for family vacations and LDS Church-related activities. All except my daughter Abby who doesn't have to drag handcarts around Wyoming because she's a Presbyterian.

PM: Lunch at Ruth's Diner with Ann. I love summer.

Is Abby going to Alta High?

From Rob Murphy on Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 10:38:10 from 24.10.247.181

Yes! Four years of carpooling an hour a day with my teenage daughter. Either some great father-daughter bonding or a recipe for disaster - only time will tell.

Or worse/better yet - when she becomes a student in your class!

Summers off with nothing to do. I wish I had your life.
