Ran to Desolation Lake from Upper Mill Creek on the Big Water, Great Western, and Crest trails. The wildflowers are absolutely going off on the Wasatch Crest. I almost forgot how much I love trail running since I've been preoccupied with this road crap :)
Dusted off the VFF's this afternoon. Forgot how fun they are to run in and my achilles didn't feel like it was going to snap in half until I get to the 2 mile mark. Should probably start running in them at least once a week to help with the foot strength.
Was inspired by all you fast peeps in the marathon yesterday so I thought I would end my run today with a fast mile. Ran a 6:54 (my fastest ever) and thought I was going to hyperventilate and die. Then I got in some sprints when I got to the bus stop and realized I forgot my bus pass. I spilled coffee all over myself while running, but I did catch the bus - thank goodness it is Tuesday already!
It was a cool 90 degrees up City Creek this evening. Ran into two deer and they weren't even phased by me. I think they are getting used to seeing me up there. Time to rehydrate with margaritas - happy weekend!
