Anita, I don't do full marathons anymore either but am willing to try a 'tweener like the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase. Plus trail running is so very different from running on the road. These days I only run on pavement if I absolutely have to (though I will choose pavement over the dreadmill).

I'm getting conflicting information about the Wahsatch Steeplechase from my inside sources. One says it's only 15 miles, another says 17, and the website says marathon length. I'd love to do that one if it really is only 15 or 17...and it's hilly but not horrible, and is really at a pretty low elevation (for Utah). And it's super purty. I love those trails.

Anyhoo, be in touch before the SLC half, okay?
