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.

Busy day working on boats in the sun..can't decide if it was work or not.  Nice trail run in Prov Canyon and got in some quick lifting.

Easy 5 miles of the Upper loop trail of Ogden Canyon.  Testing some gear today for iFrogz and Backcountry today which was kind of fun.  Had to be able to use a phone for music, make calls, track GPS, and take pictures, all hands free. Except the taking pictures, ha ha!  Pretty cool stuff but wasn't too impressed with the GPS antennae in the iphone or the android.  The over ear phones are kind of nice though.

30 minutes of lifting at the gym and stoked to finally be ably to handle the 70lb dumbells on chest flys.  Last week I embarrassed myself trying to get them off my chest while a couple girls were watching.  I had to drop them on the floor.  :)

Long over night tomorrow in Phoenix.  It may just be a night for a Grand Canyon run..

I was supposed to have a long Phoenix overnight and get out for a sweet trail run but got swapped into a New York overnight.  Turns out the company CEO was on our flight and wanted jumpseat.  Good downdrafts and rain on descent.  I did one of my hardest landings ever, Ha Ha!  Real embarrassing..

The sun came out in the evening and I did my fav run around Citi field and three loops of the World Fair Park, all on grass.  Could be the longest grass run I've had.  Game night so things were busy.

Easy run on the grass of the huge Metro Park in St. Louis.  Good 45 minutes of lifting afterwards.

Amazing run through Paris with my sister.  Ran from our apartment at Rue du Temple to the river Seine, across the Ile de le Cite on the Pont D'Arcol bridge, down the river, across Pont Royale through the Jardin des Tuileries down the Avenue de Champs Elysees to the Egyptian Luxor Obelisque, took pics running under the Arc de Triomphe and continued to the Palaise de Chaillot.  Then we ran across the river again to the Eiffel Tower and crossed the park to the Ecole Militaire and around the Hotel de Invalides to cross the river and run between the Petite and Grand Palaise to run through the Jardine des Tuileries which took us under the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel to the Louvre and then up the little streets back to the apartment.  Like a mini tour of Paris!
