Took an extended holiday weekend and went trail running and hiking solo this morning. 9.30 miles total. Approximatley 4 miles trail running in the Oquirrh Mountains. Started at 7:30 a.m. at the BSA Wig-wam at base of canyon. Ran behind Little Mountain on the ridges up towards Corner Mountain pass until trail turned to bush-wacking. Back town to trail into Left hand Fork of Settlement Canyon joining the Bear Trap trail and back down to canyon road at Legion Park. Ran home via base of dam and wig-wam road. Roughly 3 hours. A bit windy up on the ridge tops, but some nice views of the valley, the Stansbury Mountains and Deseret Peak to the west and the Great Salt Lake to the north. Carried H2O, snacks, and cell phone, so running was a bit bulky, otherwise nice day for a trail run. Only one fall. I'm beat. Hamstrings still a bit sore from the 10K on Saturday. |

| 15 miles in 2:05:20 with Tina. 8:21 average pace overall. Droubay Rd. down throuugh Erda, along Erda Way and then the long drawn out uphill from Erda Way up through Overlake Golf course and Overlake subdivision to Glen Eagles. 1:47:20 at 13.1, even with the slow 4 miles uphill. I was really dragging. Tina was killing me today. Usually she only does that on the downhill and I can hold my own on the uphill, but not today. I was totally spent by 13.5 and really struggled to make 15. I was scheduled for 16 but that was all I could do to finish 15 and I was really holding her back today. Oh well, some days you have it some days you don't. Miles 5, 6, & 7 in 7:25 each. Slowest miles uphill coming back in 9:10 and 9:42. I just finished reading "Born to Run" today. An inspiring book, but it still doesn't make me want to run an ultra. |
