Long Trail Run - Aaron was nice enough to visit Utah, while his "super chick" wife killed the women's field for the Freedom Run 15K. She beat most of the men too. But more importantly, that left Aaron available to join me for a nice trail run. We waited for Joe to join but he was a no-show and sadly Jon couldn't come either so it was just Aaron and I for the sweetest ribbon of single track around. We started at the bottom of Richards Hollow and ran up the trail past the "Elbow" and up the a road that heads up to Logan Peak. We didn't quite make it to the peak, but to within view of it and most of Cache Valley. It was quite a climb, but the best was yet to come on the descent. Nothing like running through endless fields of wild flowers, jumping over and through streams, dodging beaver ponds, even a moose. Who wouldn't love it? I had a great time and I think this run just surpassed Jardine Juniper as my favorite. Yep, its that good. One day I will go all the way up to Logan Peak, but that would've been 10 more miles. I enjoyed the BBQ Scott threw last night and hope to see all of you again. Good job to all the racers today as there were some stellar performances. But, you missed out. The real fun was on our trail run. Ha! Thanks Aaron for a great time. T- 2:4x (9:2x pace) 4000' vertical Stupid garmin is broken. I am lost without it. Anyone want to sell me their Forerunner 205 or 305?
