| Had to do my run in two separate places. Meghan and I went out to Antelope Island thinking we would run the Mountain View trail. After 11 miles of being constantly harassed by all sorts of biting insects, we called it a run and left. It was not good. Since I felt pretty good and wanted to get in 20+ miles, I went over to rainbow Gardens in ogden and ran the BST south to Beus canyon and back for another 12+. No biting insects there. | | Add Comment |

| Went for an easy trail run after work. Nice and slow. Legs are tired from the hill work this week. More hills on Saturday as I'm going up to Windy Pass to work that aid station for Squaw Peak. 5 miles all uphill, with a full pack of supplies. Good times. | | Comments(1) |

Took yesterday off, had too many chores to do after work and no time during lunch. Ran into work this morning. Had to push so I didn't miss the train since I left the house a little late. The day off must have helped, I felt pretty good running in.
The run home was fine, still felt pretty good.
My big chore today is to make about 10 dozen chocolate chip cookies to pack up to Windy Pass for the Squaw Peak 50 mile tomorrow. I've been working that aid station for the last 4 years and I take cookies up every year. The hike up is always an adventure and getting the chance to spend the day in some beautiful remote backcountry is always a good thing. Then there's the bonus of helping friends and other runners as they come thru this station at 40 miles. About 230 runners will come thru tomorrow. last year it snowed 4" as we hiked up. I was soaking wet by the time I got to the pass, but the snow quit, the sun came out and that coupled with a nice fire and everyone dried out just fine. Even with the snow and cold, the day was spectacular. Tomorrow will be a great day. | | Add Comment |

Did my usual first Saturday in June thing and hiked up to Windy Pass with a full pck of food. then I got to spend the day helping runners finsh the Squaw Peak 50 mile. Windy Pass is 40 miles in and the only way to get there is to pack in all of our supplies except for water, there's a spring up there. the hike can be pretty strenuous, it's all uphill and the pass is at 9000'. We only encountered about a 1/4 mile of snow on the trail and that was near the top. The pass did live up to its name as it was pretty breezy and cool. This is my 5th year going up there and i always have a good time. I get to see lots of people I know and chat for a couple minutes with them and help them on their way. I always have a good time and look forward to doing it again next year. | | Add Comment |
