Trail Run - I was really looking forward to FINALLY making it up Dry Canyon today. I was stopped by snow in every other attempt until now. Sort of. I started the run at Providence Canyon and enjoyed a nice 2.75 mile warmup on rolling hills before getting to dry canyon and the nasty climb that ensues. I made my way up the canyon with no issues and no snow on the trail until right before the aid station for Logan Peak. From that point on, it was major snow. The slushy kind that you fall into with no warning. I first took the right fork and tried to make my way around the mountain as I figured once I hit the south slope on the South Syncline trail, it would once again be clear. Unfortunately, I had a 1.5 mile trek across a snow field many feet deep. Amazingly, I was able to find and stay "on" the trail the whole way. I had post-holed my way about a mile when I finally gave up. I headed back and decided to try the North Syncline trail. I knew the south slope would be dry, but it took a bit more snow treking to get to that section. As soon as I crested and was heading down the other side, the snow was just too deep to continue. It had better start to warm up and melt as Logan Peak race is in 3 weeks and I would say that 15 miles of the course is under 3+ feet of snow. Crazy. I took a break at the ridge to admire the view and snap some photos and then descended like a maniac back to the car. I didn't get to run as much of the course as I wanted, but at least I finally made it to the aid station (mile 4.5 of the course). I think I survived my recovery week and am ready for a big 2 weeks.

Yep, the trail is under there somewhere. Better start melting! Picture 6: View of Logan from North Syncline Trail (about mile 22 of course)
