Ran to work and back after atking a few days off. I would have been running but work conspired against me. Maybe just as well as I was sore after the race last Saturday.
Didn't quite get the actual 13 miles. About 1.5 miles from home I heard a honk and someone yell at me. It was my wife and son in his truck. They asked if I wanted a ride home and I told my wife I would always take a ride from a hot babe in a good looking truck.
Looking forward to the 39 miles I'm planning on running Friday. Should be a good time. | | Add Comment |

| Did an easy trail run. Went up Strong's canyon since I've never been up there. Didn't realize that there's a hidden canyon with no trail that I could see. Interesting. | | Add Comment |

Went on a run from Upper Big Water in Millcreek Canyon to the Homestaed resort in Midway. When we started there was three of us, Meghan, Jeff and myself. I don't know how many runners we saw that we knew between Upper Big Water and Brighton, but it was a bunch. You'd have thought there was a race going on.
Saw a bunch of fellow ultrarunners at the Brighton store. Picked up another person, Kim, at Brighton. She wanted to go with us to the Homestead. Also met with Julie, but she was just going to the top of Catherine's Pass and back down. Met Sarah at the top of Catherine's. She came up from the Alta side. From there the five of us headed for the Homestead. Sarah, Kim, and Jeff were faster than Meghan and I so we decided to take a short cut down Sandy Baker Pass rather than go around Mill Peak and down the Dive and Plunge. The other three took the long way. Meghan and I finally made it to the Homestead around 4:30 and had time to go into Heber for burgers before everyone else finished. All of us had a great time. The course was in great shape although there was a fair amount of snow on the way up to Point Supreme. Plenty of nice clear cold stream water. The scenery was incredible as it usually is.
The weather looked a little threatening on the trek past Brighton, but the clouds eventually went away. The trail from Catherine's to the Honestead was pretty quiet. Saw a few dirt bikes, couple of equestrians, but no runners or mountain bikers at all. Felt great the entire time. Had no problems with the altitude and running at 10,000'. For Meghan and I it was a great last long run before we run Tahoe Rim 100 in two weeks. | | Comments(2) |

Did some crosstraining by making homemade peach ice cream, working on the barn and doing some driveway bowling with my son, my wife, and my son's friend. the people we bought our house from left behind 9 bowling pins, and three bowling balls. We set them up in the driveway and had a good time knocking them down. The endurance event ended with fireworks at dark. Good times. | | Add Comment |
