8 miles around Ogden this afternoon.  Their was a break in the clouds so I didn't have any wind or rain the entire time.  The temperatures were perfect and once again it felt great to just get out and run.  I only have 2 more runs left in Ogden for a while since the big move down to St. George.  We are packing up the trailer tomorrow evening and then driving down Saturday morning.  Katey called me this afternoon and said it was beautiful down in St. George.  It was raining pretty good up here at the time of the call!  I am excited to get down there and get things ready for the new school as well as the cross country team.  This will be a great opportunity for both Katey and I.

I got my plane tickets today for Twin Cities.  I am looking forward to running this race.  Katey has been a great support since Ogden didn't turn out the way I would have liked.  I was bummed out for a couple of days but she said things always happen for a reason.  She is so wise!  She told me just to go and have fun and not worry so much about the glamour of such a big marathon and all of the implications that might go along with it.  She basically has said that I need to remember that I truly do enjoy running and to just go and have fun.  That will be the plan and I hope to run well.  This summer should be great for training.  I can't wait!
