This weekend Kim and I had a quick little getaway Friday and Saturday up in SLC without any kiddies. We had a great time. Caught the Jazz game last night vs. Sacramento. We actually had seats that were NOT in the nosebleed section for a change.

This morning we went for a run on the Jordan River trail since it was right next to our hotel. This was the first time either of us had run on this trail so it was nice for a change of pace and the weather was quite nice as well for this time of year. Lots of sun which we've been enjoying throughout the day. We thought we might see a lot of runners but we hardly saw anyone at all. Just a couple of joggers toward the very end of our run and a couple of guys walking dogs.

Next week it's back to the full-blown training schedule.

Wow. I actually ran more miles than you in a week. Probably the 1st time in a long time that has happened.

Tom, thanks for the comment. I hear you about the non-kids trip. We love our kids, but it is nice to get away once in a while and feel like we're adults.

Thanks Tom. I'm glad you enjoyed your SLC trip. 5 kids at home! I'm sure the weekend was a good break. I look forward to seeing your progress. You'll be under 3:00 before you know it.
