Good run up here in SLC. Meet up with Adam, Chad, Walter, and Logan (who was up here as well). We met at the state Capital building and ran around the bench for a few to kind of use the flat area before heading up the canyon. Then we started up, up and more up. Walter and Chad needed to head off a little early but the rest of us went up to the top. Adam had fun showing us his little secret running park. It's a great run with really no traffic and for us St. George boys the temps were awesome. I started getting really tierd of the uphill as the legs were still kind of jacked from last weekend but about that time we reached the top. Had we been feeling frisky we could have bailed down really fast but nobody was so we just hit a smoot, conversational 6:40 pace back down to the cars. 

It was great to see all those guys. Since I haven't been racing this year I haven't seen most of the blogging family. I thought to my self this morning that when we are all healthy we had a pretty strong pack out today.... not your typical morning joggers!

Great run guys and thanks for coming out!

Great run, Clyde. It gets pretty steep at the top of City Creek--you're not alone in feeling tired up there. It is a great escape from town, glad you got to see it. Enjoy the rest of your trip, travel safely.

Clyde, Thanks for suggesting that we all get together. It was great catching up and I really enjoyed the company up the canyon.

Come up to Logan and we can take you on some fun runs, too.
