Tell me what it's like to have "sunny" skies, this "soup" we're stuck with is DEPRESSING!!!!

Should I start calling you Sawyer? :)

Another NICE lunch run! Yay for the sub 7 last mile! Wish I could say 7:30 is easy! SO GLAD your cough is almost gone! Send some sunshine to us, will ya?

From MarcE on Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 22:54:26 from 204.16.82.114

Kelli - Thanks. Somedays, 7:30 doesn't feel so easy! When it's 50 and sunny..it feels great.

MrsFIT - Every time I come to Utah it's all so beautiful. Hard to believe this "inversion" really exists. I bet it is depressing...think Spring!

RP - I'm more like Jack. :) (minus the good looking doctor part)

Smooth - Sunshine headed your way! Just give it back by next Saturday--I need it for the Cowtown Marathon!

So now that you are not doing Boston, do you have a goal mararhon after Cowtown? We're going to miss you.

From MarcE on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 15:30:36 from 136.182.2.25

Rhett -- Tom Slick is running UVM, which sounds like a faster version of SGM. That's in June -- and would probably only cost me a couple hundred bucks. This summer is going to be crazy with my daughter starting college. So, I'm really not sure what my next target marathon will be. I'm probably running my first trail marathon in March...and then might start thinking of the fall schedule. I really don't know. I'll miss you all too!

From Teena Marie on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 18:37:08 from 174.52.45.85

Nice run there Marc!

Really hoping you can get to Utah at some point this year. You know that we need to have our Marc-fix!

From MarcE on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 17:18:01 from 206.225.68.76

Teena, you crack me up! We'll see..I really need to figure out how the next few months are shaping up (graduation for my valedictorian (her dad can't even spell the workd) with lots of relatives coming into town for the festive evetn, college visits, moving my daughter into a dorm, summer vacation...when did life get so complicated? :)

From Smooth on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 18:26:14 from 174.23.239.148

Marc ~ We are going to REALLY REALLY miss you! My youngest is graduating from High school and I am not doing half the stuff you are doing for your daughter. You are AN AWESOME dad and SO WONDERFUL that she's graduating as Valedictorian. I hope you do make it out to Utah this summer. So many friends are running UVM, it will be fun!
