AM - 10 ambitious miles from Park City along the trails toward the Canyons - I knew that I was going mostly downhill on the way out - but did not fully appreciate the impact that the uphill wind and altitude would have on the return journey back to Park City.  Ouch. 

 

PM - middle daughter Riley and I went out around 6 pm and attempted a trail run near the Canyons - called Rob's Trail.  It was really more of a hiking and mountain bike trail - too tight and too many rocks and roots and fairly steep.  No tumbles but a few close calls.  Around 3 miles.  Pretty scenery.

AM - 8 miles this morning.  Out the Poison Creek trail to the Union Pacific rail trail under I80 and back.  Ascent and descent were more moderate.  Altitude still crushed my spirit on the way back.  :)

 

PM - after a day of hiking in the Uintas - Provo River Falls and Mirror Lake (thanks Jake for the recommendation - it was really great) - Riley and I went out for an evening run of a little over 4 miles.

AM - just an easy 3.25 miles this morning up to Deer Valley and back.

PM - spent much of the day hiking in Park City on the mountain with my family - a little over 5 miles at elevation - decided another run was not in the cards - especially with an altitude run with Rob scheduled for the morning.

AM - nice run with Rob at Alta this morning which included a close encounter with a moose - that I captured on video.  Very cool.  Nice run - probably should categorize my effort (not my pace) going uphill as tempo - based on my HR.  Got to meet his cross country runners thereafter.
