Bummer weekend. BUT, Coulda Been Worse. Rich and I were all prepared to run the Moab Other Half Marathon
http://www.moabhalfmarathon.org/other/other_half.html - trained hard and were ready. Until, we got struck by th
e bug. The cold wet camping trip did me in as I had begun that with a cold already and Rich caught a bit of the flu. We headed down to Moab, anyway, hopeful that a couple of good night's sleep and we would be good enough to go. Nope. A short trial run convinced me to hang it up and Rich tried an easy bike ride but soon discovered that he couldnt breathe and had no energy. Oh, well. I got in a very nice hike with Jen and Patti on Saturday anyway (see pics) and Rich got to try out his new single speed a little. But then, on Sunday, we were ready to get home and be home and hop in the hot tub and warm up and be comfy... alas, the va
n died. The alternator decided to quit and leave us stranded. Fortunately, Jen and Patti could get us back to SLC, however, we had to wait about 4 hours for them to finish the race and be ready to go! Now we have to travel back down to Moab next weekend to get the van. One the good side: the mountains got a couple of feet of snow! And, yes, that ski picture was t
aken this month!
