Spent the afternoon up in Blacksmith Fork Canyon with the kids.  I got in an easy run on the left hand fork trail which has to be one of the neatest trails I've run on.  Just a soft easy single track.  We then spent the evening on kayak lessons, which for some reason they like better than canoes.  My ten year old can already handle the class 1 areas of the river in the kayak.  It's amazing how fast they learn this stuff.

What? You thought he'd take a day off?

Just a fun run in the mountains. Slow enough to watch the grass grow. 9 min miles to 13 min miles.

I like kayaks better too. For some reason all I can do in a canoe is spin in circles :-)

Exactly. Takes too much effort.
