Ran down the flat Wiowash Trail and then over the new pedestrian trail on the Butte des Morts causeway to read the new Wisconsin Indian Tribe interprative signs.

Now in California!

Ran the Dipsea Trail into Muir Woods. Redwoods are simply magical and running through them is just freaking awesome! Running part of the Dipsea Trail was on my running trails bucket list so I am thankful that Fritz squeezed in the jaunt over to Marin County during our whirlwind CA trip.

Trudge up Mt. Wire for the moon rise and then down George's in the dark with my phone lighting the way. Pretty sure the last 9 days at sea level destroyed all my RBC's. Felt terrible, but it was probably the 90 degree heat and exhaustion from all the travels.

First post-Rut slog! Life handed me a gigantic ball of crap last week so my recovery was compromised to say the least. I attempted Superior from Cardiff Pass and got shut out by gigantic clouds (see below). I couldn't find the trail and was scrambling around at a level too difficult for comfort and I bloodied my ankle pretty badly so I bailed only 400 vertical feet from the top. I felt pretty good except my right ankle still feels sort of sprained and my right hamstring feels funky at the fibula attachment point. Other than that I can say The Rut didn't do too much damage!

When I finished my rike, my new Suunto said I went 5 miles, but when I upload it says I went 4.3. It also said I had a 6:26 mile when I know I spent at least 30+  minutes cowering on the ridge and was barely moving grrrrrrrr.

60+ minutes of walking. I am starting to feel recovered from my rut and The Rut!

After work today, I crawled into my makeshift bed and almost called it a day. Then I looked at the forecast and realized how few days might be left before the high Wasatch is covered in snow so I motivated up to the White Pine Trailhead and all the way to the Pheifferhorn.

The clouds and rain made the views spectacular and the colors absolutely pop! I forgot how early the sun now sets so I descended from Red Pine Lake in the dark with only my iPhone flashlight. The aspen leaves scattered across the trail were seriously glowing in the dark as well as the moose eyes in the woods - yikes! 

I am pretty sure this is my favorite view in all of the Wasatch. Instagram is the easiest way to upload photos to frb btw.

AM: Core yoga with Elliott of sub-24 hour Bear 100 fame. If you are on Strava, he deserves a he!! of a lot of kudos

PM: Guardman's COLOR run - so gorgeous right now! Got absolutely pounded with hail, which sort of hurt, but the colors and clouds and views were worth it!
