Totally unremarkable run on the BST. South to the Beus Canyon TH parking lot and back. Legs heavy today, couldn't get in a rythmn. 12 miles, 9:12 pace, ended up with 1785 vertical.
Of other note: I saw the legendary local Jaque Glidden out walking on the trail today. I don't know how old he is, he doesn't look like he has aged a year in the 15 or so I have known him. You would never guess it to look at him, but the guy is/was quite the hard man. He held the speed record on the Grand Teton for years and years, something like just over 7 hours round trip, if you've done it in a day, you know how remarkable that is. There are still unrepeated routes in the Canadian Rockies that are Glidden FA's. He was a professor at Weber State for years and used to issue a challange to any student in his class that if they could be him in a foot race he would give them an automatic A. He never lost, as far as I know, even as he approached retirement. Original ultrarunner I guess. I always get ecited to see him out on the trails, makes me hope I can still be out there looking strong into my 70's or beyond. |
