      Sorry I didn't check earlier! Or that you didn't ask me... Slick rock trail = 13 miles, pick up 7 more by running the bike path toward Arches National Park. ;-)

      NICO!!! You are alive. So good to see your post and so good to see you staying true to what you love ...trail running. Make sure you stay in front of Jen so she can't pass you. That'd be my strategy. =)

      What?! You are such a sly dog. And here I thought I wouldn't feel too guilty about running when you and Jen weren't on fresh legs from your Half's last weekend... now it turns out you were fried from yesterday too! Stud.
