I ran the 2000 N route with Larry. We added an extra loop at the top of 2000 N with plans to cut off some distance at the end. We forgot to cut it short so we just ended up with the extra distance. My legs are still feeling a little dead. I felt it in the quads this morning.

It was great (as usual) running and talking with Larry. I've got some important career decisions coming up and talking with Larry really helped.

Paul,

I was looking at the 2007 photos of St. George and Wow, there we were running together before I wimped out and had to watch you pull away!

Small world, isn't it.

Thanks for passing the photos along. It is a small world.

I wish I could have finished a couple of minutes ahead of you this year (would have been sub-3:00) instead of 10 minutes behind. Congratulations again on a great marathon. I hope our paths cross again during a race, because that will mean I'm running very well.
