Easy run.

7:13 am, 50-58°F, 48% humidity, wind 5 NNE.

I did this run on the rail trail outside of Park City, Utah. I parked at the Promontory Trailhead and ran south from there because the trail was closed going north because of construction on I-80 (the northern part of the trail eventually crosses under I-80). Most of my run was on dirt, but miles 3 and 4 were on pavement. They've paved the trail as it gets closer to Park City.

I saw a whole bunch of hot air balloons during my run. I took some pictures with my cell phone, but they didn't turn out. The balloons just look like dots in the sky in the pictures, but they were actually quite close when I was running. And on my drive back to my sister's house after the run, I saw one hot air balloon that had landed by the side of the road and was being put away.

I saw a couple of other runners and I think 5 bike riders on the trail. I also saw some little groundhogs or something, a lot of birds, and a couple of animals that might have been foxes or coyotes. I wasn't sure. They looked like foxes, but didn't have bush tails.

AP: 9:34. Splits: 9:56, 9:31, 9:35, 9:30, 9:28, 9:29, 9:35, 9:26.

Sounds like you enjoyed your run. That's what it's all about.

We were probably on the Rail Trail at the same time - only I was quite a ways North of where you were, near Wanship. I've been on the Park City side runnin during a hot air balloon event. I was startled once by a low floating balloon that I wasn't aware of until it made that hissing sound from the gas or whatever. Scared the daylights out of me; must have looked pretty funny from above.

Nice job getting an 8 miler in during your travels.
