Today we took a quick excursion to SLC for another family gathering (last one I swear).  Since I was running alone I figured it would be nice to wait until I arrived in SLC to run in the warmer weather and in the daylight.  That was a good call as it was 20 degrees warmer by the time I ran.  I hit the road leaving from my parents house in Cottonwood Heights and headed up to Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Once I hit the mouth, I headed south on Prospector Dr and continued on Top of the World drive to Wasatch Blvd.  I followed Wasatch past Little Cottonwood and past Bell canyon until just past pepperwood neighborhood.  My plan was to make it to the 8.5 mile mark in an hour and then turn around.  It was close 60:40 at 8.5.  

The way back was colder as it was into a headwind, but I tried to push it to try and make it home in under 2 hours.  I was doing ok, until mile 13 or so and got pretty tired.  Two hard miles right at the end almost saved it, but I was 5 seconds slow.  I was ok with that though as there was lots of tough hills in this run.  Great workout.
