My first run since the marathon last weekend. I was feeling good enough to run mid week, but took a few extra days off. I ran up the Mueller Park Trail all the way up to Rudy's Flat. I haven't been up that far since this Winter with Jun and Kam and knee deep snow. The trail was much better today. I made it up to Rudy's Flat in 1:18. On the way down I had a good groove going when I caught my foot and fell hard. Luckily I didn't break anything, but I did scrape up my right hand. Overall the run felt pretty good. I am looking forward to running Logan Peak next weekend. That will be lot's of fun.

Nice run Twinkies. Now that the snow is gone I would like to get back up there. We should plan a Sat.

See you saturday! Do you have a cool jersey from your new sponser now? How will I recognize you without the twinkies shirt? Maybe you could eat twinkies instead of gu. Sorry, I bet that joke has gotten old by now...

Scott - If we can find a Saturday when we are both available, we should run that trail.

Jon & Cody - I'll see you in Logan. My new is is bright red and says 'I have super powers' on the front.
