| Ran into work this morning. Holy cow that was a slow run. I left in plenty of time and only made the train by a couple minutes. Still, not a bad run, just slow. Holy cow the run home was slow. Guess waking up at 3:30 and not being able to get back to sleep isn't a good thing. Probably low blood sugar as well. Well, to bed early tonight. | Add Comment |

| Did my favorite after work trail run. Had to contend with all sorts of mountain bikers, but the good thing is I can usually pass them going uphill. Always an ego boost. | Add Comment |

Ok, this was a tough one today. Went over to the mouth of Millcreek canyon and joined in on the Grandeur Peak fun run. The first 2 miles are 3300' up. Not much of a run, and not much fun, but sure gets your HR up. Did manage to enjoy some of the views as the sun was coming up over the Salt Lake valley. Once at the top, we started down the other side. For the next 3 miles 3 of us flew down the trail. It was one of those intense runs where if you don't pay attention you WILL get hurt and possibly badly. I don't know our pace but I'm guessing something around 7:00, possibly under. I know my GPS recorded a best pace of 6:13. We were going all out on a very rocky twisty trail. Lots of rock hopping, hitting switchbacks fast, leaping over roots and flying by everyone who was out for a nice quiet hike up the trail. People were definitely clearing out of our way. Lots and lots of fun and definitely a run. Once at the bottom, we cruised along the pipeline trail and eventually made it back to the trailhead. Erik (the guy who puts on the run) had pancakes cooked up for everyone. About 70 showed up.
So after that little run, I headed up to the Park City area to meet up with my friend Meghan. She was taking me for another 10 on some of the trails up there. These were just easy cruising trails. Nothing really difficult, but after pounding out a hard 10 earlier, I was pretty tired. Nonetheless, we had a great run. Good enough to warrant a couple beers after. All in all, a great day to put in 20 hard miles. | Add Comment |
