Its my Birthday! Since I am turning 30, I decided to do my birthday challenge and run 16.25 miles. Isn't that what you do? No....I didn't even go 30K. Too bad. I did take a day off of work today and have enjoyed having some time to kill. Trail Run! I started at Providence canyon and hit the Deer Fence north to Dry Canyon. I proceeded up Dry as far as I could go. I only made it 2 miles before the snow made the trail impassible. It will take some serious warm weather to get that trail open. Lots of snow up high (6000' and higher). 4.7 miles in 49 mins My birthday self portrait at my turn around point -
I headed down and back to the car. Instead of getting in, I kept going on the trail south to Millville Canyon and proceeded to run up that canyon. I didn't even make it 2 miles before I had to head back to the car. It was steep but runnable. Very comparable to Dry, only it is a dirt road instead of singletrack. I had to turn around before the snowline so I am not sure how far I could have gone. Another day maybe. 16.25 tough miles in 2:29:00 (9:10) 152 ave *3300' vertical
