slick roads so I drove into town to run on sunnyside.  ran into alana and gamma so tacked on a couple of miles more than I had planned.  They are kind of free miles when you have good company.  Looking forward to getting over this cold.  Very good run.

Debating trying to improve my 26.2 PR or doing another 100K trail run.  Work is slow. Maybe I should to both!

Glen,

Sorry I didn't see your question to me until today. I'm an inconsistent blogger. I actually don't know any of the trails around Pocatello, I live North of town so I run on the country roads in this area.

On travel in Reno.  After a tough day in the field ran with a local ultra training group.  Good chance to talk to people that know what they are doing. 

Ankle very sore.  I think I'll get it looked at.
