I drove up to Park City High School with Josh, Megan and Adam RW where we met up with Steve C., Walter, Jeff Mc, and St. George visitor Clyde. The run plan was loose,something like "maybe 12-18." And let me tell you we kept it loose. After two miles, Walter and Jeff ditched us. Either we smelled bad, our jokes weren't funny, or we were just too slow.
From the HS, we headed out through some nice neighborhoods over toward the bike path that parallels the highway. It was very nice running back there, great terrain. At some point, we spotted a mountain and it occurred to us that if we just ran over that mountain that we could make turn the run into a loop course and make it back to the HS. Well, after trying a few different routes, and failing, we finally made our way to a road that led us to the base of the hill we needed to climb. We bushwacked our way up (it wasn't too bad, just sage brush etc.) and made it up to the top of the hill, ending up in someone's backyard. We weren't quiet, did not get shot or yelled at though. Next we got back onto some neighborhood roads, eventually making our way to the bike path along the highway. It was a fun little adventure.
To our surprise, Walter and Jeff came out of nowhwere and hooked up with us. They had run 17 miles. We had run about 14! We then circled back toward the school. Once we got there, a few of us ran another mile on the PCHS track, which is very nice, to make it 16.5 total.
Had breakfast afterward at the Eating Establishment. I had my butt kicked by a dish called the Hungry Miner.
It was a good time. |
