Is there mud on your shoes?

Mine got caked with mud this morning. I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline trail in North Salt Lake. There is a half mile section of the trail that is clay like mud and really sticks to my shoes. It's been three weeks since my last run. It felt great to get out and run again, but two miles into the run, I could tell that I am way out of shape. So it's time to recommit myself to running regularly and start working on some new goals.

Steam8 - The answer to where I have been lately might surprise you. The last few weeks I was on a business trip to Cairo, Egypt and Cadiz, Spain.
