Nice job. Hopefully the injury won't last. I'm in Cedar City right now at my sister's. Feel free to drop by for some turkey tomorrow since we're waiting to feast until then.

Well, Enoch maybe.

I'll be in St. George (Ivins) tomorrow and Saturday, but feel free to come down and join me for a run.

Ha! My wife asked me, "Do you want me to pack you some running clothes?" I told her no. Every time my back gets close to feeling better, it starts to hurt again.

Okay. Well, get that back feeling better. I've had my share of those issues. I'll get with you next time I'm in AZ.

Ok, you better :)
