AM Temple Work day. I ran 22 miles in the spires of the temple, god's mountains. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Good Elevation work very uplifting. Started at Guardsman pass trail head and ran up to close to 10000 feet elevation. You sure can feel the higher elevation in your whole body. Ran on the trial that takes you to Desolation Lake and down towards Dog Lake, missed the turn to dog and ended back at the road in Big Cottonwood so I had to turn and run back up the trail close to 2 miles to get back headed towards dog. When I got to dog took the trail back to Big water trail head which is the top of Millcreek Road. From Big water parking lot I ran down the canyon on the road to rattle snake gulch trail head. It was a long 22 miles and the back to back long run days made it a good test of fittness and focus. Temps were nice and I never got really hot, just thristy.
PM 8 miles Jordan River Trail, Felt sluggish in the first half so I pushed the second half Avg 7:12 for the full 8. |
