2 times planet walk.  Saw Cody and Bethany, kidless.  Normal weather, 32 deg, but staying light later.  I'm still excited for daylight savings.

It was an easy run today, but I was moving pretty good- about 6:45 pace.  I was going so fast I felt like jtshad, except I didn't throw in any 5:40 miles or 75 second quarters...

We are closing on our house tomorrow and it is our anniversary, but I'm gonna do my best to squeeze a run somewhere in there.

Hey Jon, hows the foot feeling. hopefully it was just tight shoes huh? Good job on your 10k run. I hope to do the 10 miler if im not wiped out from three weekends of running races in a row. See you in the funnies!

Foot is a bit better, but still worrying me a bit. I'm not pushing it and running on dirt when possible (not easy with this winter).

Yeah, Cody is worried about the 10 miler, too, since he is doing Moab. And it has a hugh uphill! See you there!

Thats good cody will be down there with me and james. James is still a little under the weather so hopefully I can keep up! right?

Man, good luck with the run on the anniversary, I am still MORE than paying for my faux-paux about the marathon on our anniversary weekend.

Congrats on the house closing!
