Went out with Paul just before noon and ran a loop out towards Seven Peaks via the hilly roads and then back along State street and nearby sideroads. It was a bit rainy/slushy when we started but ended up not being too wet for most of the run. A lot better than the treadmill in my book. We kept the pace pretty nice and easy and had a good chat. It was nice to have some company, I haven't run with any of "the guys" for a while. Ave pace 8:49.

Tom if you want to see some big Bull Elk as your heading to Salem just past the Harry Krishna temple as your coming down the hill out to the west there are like 6 to 8 bull Elk just bedding down out in those fields, they are huge.

Just a thought if you want to see some wild life...

I'm glad you got to have a good run with Paul. We ought to try out Clay's route sometime and check out those bull elk. If we do, remind me to take the camera, Shane would love a picture like that!

Kim I actually don't run in that area I just seem them everyday when I go to work and then on my way home, its pretty cool.

Thanks Clay. Tom and I will have to take the kids out for a drive and see them.

The other day I had to drive from Duchesne, (I would love to hear if someone from outside Utah sees this and tries to pronounce "Duchesne"), to Heber. I counted over 30 deer, 18 elk and, get this, one BEAR. But the sad thing was is they were all dead....hit by cars! They are all trying so hard to find food they are getting into danger. Very sad. Luckily we also saw some live elk, deer and even one moose! Quite an exciting little drive.

All I can say to that is WOW! It has truly been a tough winter, not only on us but the wildlife too...

Tom, your getting good, Clinton and Nixon come to mind. Nice Body Be Good Miles for you today. Always good to have an easy run with friends or spouse. It kind of puts running in perspective.

Stay Kool, without the bull, B of BS Rools out
