Will you be home saturday?

From Jon on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 10:44:16 from 128.217.221.70

This Saturday? No way. They have barely started what I came to see, and work may take more than a week. I'm just hoping to be home Next Saturday. Sorry.

bummer, I was thinking about doing the Tony Grove to bottom of Green Canyon run that day. I don't want to do it alone. What if a bear gets me?

Great running this week, excellent, happy days :-)

From Jon on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 14:10:03 from 128.217.221.70

Cody- we could do it a week from Sat.

From Cody on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 14:44:21 from 69.9.58.17

Isn't that the date of the Running club run and the Cache Valley Biathlon? That's a full day.

From Jon on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 15:37:05 from 128.217.221.70

Oh yeah, good point. Maybe after the marathon? This weekend would be ideal, but I'm stuck here.

hey I hate to interrupt your important conversation, but I just wanted to point out how my quantcast numbers are really on the move of late. And after I bury you guys at the TOU half they are really going to fly. Of course, I am also teaching 300 students this fall, and since reading my blog weekly will be mandatory, well, just watch those numbers soar!!!

From redrooster on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 20:36:26 from 71.219.136.10

oh and whats the running club run?

From Jon on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 20:43:47 from 66.255.187.114

Scott- congrats on the quantcast numbers.

It is my ATK work running club. They do a number of long runs as training for fall marathons. Sept 22 is Blacksmith Fork. Everyone is invited- I think Cody and Allie are coming, at least.

From Adam RW on Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 02:01:04 from 98.202.223.65

Scott, I like the idea about the student requirements.

Jon, I want your and anyone else's opinion on the following: http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,1151.0.html

From Mattrow on Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 09:21:10 from 138.64.2.76

Jon the club run is August 22 and yes Everyone is invited.

From Jon on Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 09:28:54 from 128.217.221.70

Thanks, Matt, that's what I meant- Aug 22.
