Trails!

Providence Canyon Trail 8 - 

Trail was in great shape. The rain and warm weather compacted the snow plus the bikes have been on it to smooth it out.  Only an inch or so of powder on top.  I like the new trail section on the upper mile.  It is now further from the road and feels more secluded.  Fewer switchbacks too.

Green Canyon - 

The trail was in much nicer shape than last week when I ran this course.  The only bummer was there were fresh horse tracks (again) on the middle third of the trail which made things tricky.  Careful or you will twist an ankle.

Providence hills loop 8.5

Nice and easy today.  Typical tired run.  Kept the HR lower than 150 for all but 1 hill.
