Back to Paradise with a vengeance. I failed the redneck test miserably - two 350 lb (+) guys roll up to the mouth of Green Canyon in giant pickups hauling Snow Kats replete with king size caterpillar tracks. One guy is so big he is oozing out of the window of his Kat. They then proceed to zoom up Green Canyon in a flurry of snow and fumes. I have no idea why or where they were going but try as I might I couldn't generate any sense of envy for their rigs...what's wrong with me? It just shows how 4 days in Berkeley can totally trash one's values....

Hahaha! That was good! Shhhh...don't let those guys know that you didn't envy there rigs, it will ruin their day. Thanks for the chuckle.

Incidentally, our marathon goals for this year are the same, I'm hoping to break 3:45 this Fall. Good luck!

Thanks, JD! Air alert in Cache Valley today so the big riggers wreak their revenge - will have to move today's planned 17 miler to next week....

Good luck with the training...
