What an amazing morning for a run.  I woke up a little late and missed the group run so I decided to just run a random route.  I ended up on the Bonneville shoreline trail in Centerville which was a good climb to get there.  I ran along that for awhile then stopped and took a little break.  Looking over the valley was amazing. The clouds were perfect and the way the sun was hitting the landscape was amazing.  I'm not sure if I have ever noticed how cool the area looks.  It reminded me of a Bob Ross painting (lots of happy trees).  The smells were amazing this morning too.  I'm usually not in to stuff like this but for some reason it really hit me.  Headed back home running various routes.  The pace for most of the run was easy but today's run wasn't really about running.
