We had a power outage at work so I got to go home even earlier the I had planned. Today was Parent Teacher Conference so I was planning to leave a little early but instead it was almost another hour earlier :) !!! Today was a beautiful, I parked at the gym, then ran around the city... My husband and son don't like me doing this... afraid I'm in bad areas, but I have black pants, red jacket, blue hat, green ipod, so don't I cover all the gang affiliated colors? They should consider me like Swiss, I'm neutral :) The weather was perfect, sky was bright blue. It was great! I had to really concentrate on making it an easy run. I wanted to keep at about the same pace I was yesterday, but I had to really make myself slow down. Shin bugged a bit towards the end but nothing real bad. I will ice it tonight.

You need to come an run with us some time. Your splits are great. Running slow is hard for speedy speedsters like you but you'll get the hang of it.

Your neighborhood sound fun. I think you are right- most people wont just shoot a runner, even with the wrong colors. You should wear hot pink :) There can't be a single self respecting gang who has that color ;)

I would love to come and run with you sometime, but we would have to find some place in the middle to meet.

I will have to find some hot pink, I will get even more funny looks :)

Cool- I'll talk to tarzan and leslie and see if there is a cool trail somewhere in the middle. SLC is an hour away from me. Bountiful is abt 70 min. How far are those places from you?

From Metcalf Running on Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 10:12:06

SLC is about an hour for me also... :) Let me know this could be fun :)

I'll talk to Maurine and lEslie and find out a great trail for us all to have a long run on ;) GOOD TIMES!!
