Well, back to reality. Walked 230 miles on the Camino de Santiago with a net 29,000 foot elevation gain (and more or less the same loss) in 13 days. But that meant no runs and so today's was hard but at least it's a start.

Signed up for the Mesquite Marathon - 12 weeks to go - it's mainly for motivation and an excuse for a weekend in the south desert in November.

David, great, I am still planning to sign up too, just giving my leg a few more days before I commit myself to this. The memory of the Ogden disaster is still fresh. But the new running approach really seems to be working so far. Amazing.

Well, I know it's been about 3 months since you last blogged, but did you do that Mesquite Marathon. I know Rooster and I did.
