So there we were, Saturday late afternoon, 92 degrees outside and we still hadn’t gone on our long run for the week. We were texting back and forth trying to decide what to do. Should we skip it. Should we go run 14 miles in the heat. Finally fatso called with an idea we all could agree on. He suggested we go to the SLC and run up City Creek Canyon while our spouses went shopping - that sounded fun and dangerous. Fun to run up City Creek; dangerous to let Alice and the others go shopping.
So the ladies dropped us off at the Conference Center and we changed into our running clothes. The run is hard on the way up, just over seven miles of twisting and turning up hill. But coming back down is almost fun. You just kind of let gravity have its way and next thing you know your’e keeping a pretty good pace. It took us about two hours to finish our run and then we showered and met the girls back at the conference center.
We finished up our evening by going to dinner at Ramano’s Macaroni Grill. After a long run like that we all gazeled our sotas. The waitress couldn’t keep our glasses full and seemed a little confused until we filled her in. It was a nice evening out. Alice and I hadn’t been out for several months - the last time the fatsos went on a big run followed by dinner.
