Great post on many levels. And a Kobe closer! If you have averaged 8:24 pace... think of the symmetry!

I am currently in Union Park so decided to sign up for the Planet Fitness in Murray for a place to shower.

I had no idea so many things would surface on a slow jaunt around the place.

We've been in the area for about 3 months now. I've probably done roughly 500 laps around Wheeler Farm this summer, and of course the stretch b/w Wheeler and Intermountain. The only time I've run south of 215 is when escorting Andrea on her run to work.

Pretty cool that you were born in the Planet Fitness locker room.

6100 S State to:

- TOSH (formerly Cottonwood Hospital)

- Vine Street past Murray Cemetery

- 5600 S 900 E

- 5419 S 900 E (the house is now behind an office at the light there and the homestead included the offices and homes surrounding and the Sports Mall to the south)

- Back to Murray Cemetery (north side this time)

- to Murray Park and along Big Cottonwood Creek

- Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary

- old Murray

- your place of employment

- All Minerals (right south of 5300 S and 300 W along the overpass)

I can't figure out if this is a description of a very depressing run or absurdist poetry.

then I think I've done my job
