Great run with a good friend from Logan who I haven't run with since he paced me the last 50 miles of the Bear 100.  We met at my house and headed up and over Indian Trail.  He hadn't run through there before so we had a good time, just taking it easy and enjoying the trail.  A couple of hikers out, but really just us.  We cruised down to the canyon, turned around and hiked for a bit, talking away.  I had to stop for a bathroom break and he continued, knowing my pace was generally faster than his.  Aftet the couple minute head start he had on me, I had to push pretty hard to reel him back in.  By the time we hit the shack I was pretty worked.  We kept the pace up on the run through Warm Water canyon, running down this section is trail running Disney Land, up's, downs, twists, turns, the trai lis never flat and never straight, and its all on the best technical single track around.  We joked that it was like a Mario Bros video game. 

11 miles, 2850 vert.

Sounds like a blast! Nothin' like having the Disneyland of trail running in your own backyard! We're pretty dang lucky to live where we do with so many awesome trails close at hand.
