Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 33. So to celebrate, I am going to run 33 miles tomorrow. I will start at my house, go up to Bountiful Blvd and head South to the Bonneville Shorline trail. From there I will go up to the radio towers, drop into City Creek Canyon and head up to the capitol. Craig and Scott are going to join me at the capitol. Together we will run up City Creek, get on the Bonneville Shorline trail heading South again, run down Dry Creek canyon, across Red Butte, and over to Sunnyside Drive by the zoo. Then we will turned around and head back to the capitol over the same route. When we get back to the capitol, Craig is going to continue on with me back to my house. If my calculations are correct, it should be 33 miles.

Happy B-Day. I'm waiting for your 33 mile victory report... That was me that said hello just after you left Dry Creek.
