Fast Running Blog

I'm going to be in Park City on Thursday and Friday (June 27,28). If anyone is interested in doing a long run either of those days let me know. It would be nice to have some company... 435-632-2459

I should be on board for an early Sat run. I've also put a few comments on peoples blogs that I thought would be interested. I've only ever run at the rail trail up there. However, would be up for trying something different if someone suggested it...

Awesome Adam- I have your number from the relay so I'll call you later to set it up.

Steve C on the blog has a lot of good suggestions on possible runs. He is Cutika99 on the blog. He ran an awesome Ragnar for the Blue team. He posted the run suggestions on my blog for yesterday. Let me know what you are up for and when. The earlier the better in my mind to beat the heat. As long as we are not going a crazy pace I'd be up for 15-20 (big range but it really depends on speed).

Do you mean Friday and Saturday? 
Anyway, there are limitless places to run, flat, hilly, trails, roads, whatever.
I'd be willing to meet for a long run as well, especially if we take it easy.

Earlier is better, it's going to be hot as balls.

I'm up for Sat morning only as I'm booked with work and stuff on Fri...

Keep me posted on the details. I'm very interested in joining you guys. Maybe breakfast afterward if anyone has time.

I"m up for breakfast. Hell, we can do breakfast and not run at all.

I'm always up for donut repeats! But I don’t think I could ever touch my high school record of 12 Dunkin Donuts in one sitting…

I will say that Wasatch Bagels is an excellent place if you are a bagel fan.

If you guys want, just skip the run and come up to Logan. We'll go to Angies.

My family has been up in Park City all week for a family reunion.  I would be interested in running with you guys on Friday or Saturday.  I am not sure about my brother but I can check with him.  My phone number is (801)636-6638.  My brother's number is (253)948-8960.  Let me know what time and where you will meet.  I should be good whenever

The run is looking good. Breakfast sounds even better. Like I said I don't know the area so I'll nominate Steve to plan our course. I won't be up for any speed (at all) because I did a pretty solid 20 miles today. However if we stay relaxed I'd be up for any distance.

Run em up and over Guardsman Pass, Steve, just to show em what you had to go through last week!

The thought has crossed my mind. It's actually not so bad on the Deer Valley side.
One day I will run from Deer Valley to Heber, just so I can run down the Ragnar.

I don't know if everyone is up for the first 6 miles uphill.

What do you guys think???  Would you prefer flat rail trails, or some major elevation gain with all downhill on the way back?

Let me know, I'll plot out a couple different courses.

How is everyone for 6am on Saturday? The high school is easy to get to and a nice place to meet. It's right on Kearns Blvd. on the way into town.

My suggestions are either the Rail Trail, the Mid-Mountain trail, the Jeremy Ranch Road, or the Glenwild Loop (twice).  My vote is for the Rail Trail because it's a character builder!

6AM sounds good. I'm good with the Rail Trail but think we are most likely to "race" that one. I've not done the others so if people feel strongly for one of them I'll give it a try.

I've got a very nice run down from Park City to Hollow Creek. Much of it is on a bike path, very similar to the rail trail. But it also mixes in some nice neighborhood roads and a few hills.
Part of the run would be on a dirt path with the option of more trail running if people are interested in that as well.

The other nice part is, the run gives you the option of going 14-18 miles depending on where you turn.

I'd be willing to run the rail trail too, but it gets pretty darn boring out there, and there's not much shade.

Is everyone good with 6AM at the high school?

Thanks Steve. 6AM at the high school (near the track?) to Hollow Creek sounds great.

I'll meet at the high school at 6 a.m. and I could care less where we run. It's up to you guys. I'll most likely be riding my bike down to the school- is there a safe place I can leave it? Other than that I'll everything looks good. I'll check back later this afternoon to see any changes.
Also Walter may be coming up. You SLC guys may want to carpool...

6am at the high school works for me. Adam, do you want to carpool? I can drive. I could pick you up at your house at 5:30.  Would you have time for breakfast after?

Chad, Thank you for the offer. I'll be ready by 5:30. I'd be up for breakfast afterwards. I would need to be back ~10:30am, let me know if you think that would be a problem and I can drive myself so I'm not rushing you out the door...

It shouldn't be a problem to be back by 10:30.

Great, see you then!

Yeah right by the track. There are even some porta potties nearby if anyone needs them.
See you guys tomorrow at 6.

Bring a bike lock and you can lock your bike up right there at the school.

Can I catch a ride with any of you going up there.  I can leave my vehicle at the Olympus hills mall off of I-215 and ride or I'll even drive up.  Im just not sure where the High school is so let me know. Walter
