Think of me hiking

So, I didn't sign up for the race. We are going out of town that day. A part of me wishes I was running with you all. It is so fun to run a race with friends. I did Moab 1/2 a last year with friedns and had a blast. But then I remember a few weeks back and training for the Wasatch Back and how relieved I was knowing I didn't have to train anymore when we finished. During the grueling race I decided I wouldn't run for a few weeks and that I am going to dedicate my Saturdays to nice hikes instead of "long runs".
Mel it was fun seeing you when we were out running.
Have fun.

I will leave you with a motivational running quote:

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."
- Steve Prefontaine
