AM: Planet Walk 4

PM: Joe and I decided to brave the heat (80+ degrees today) and tackle Green Canyon.  We ran from King Park to the yurt.  We were moving pretty good on the way up, but then I decided to try and see what these Hoka's could do.  They felt a bit clunky as I couldn't feel the rocks too well, but the obvious advantage was that I couldn't feel the rocks too well.  I ran as hard as I could and my legs and feel felt great at the end.  So far, I love 'em.

-Corner Canyon

I was in SLC for the weekend so I was excited to be able to run new trails (to me).   The last time I biked corner canyon was in high school.  I don't think there were any singletrack trails.  Only 4x4 and atv trails.  My how things have changed.  I biked from my parents house in Cottonwood Heights and left my bike at the trailhead on Wasatch Blvd and a hundred and something south.  (35 mins).  

Now the fun part.  I ran on BST south to the maze of trails in corner canyon.  I quickly looked at a map and looked for a way up to the top.  I picked a route and headed up.  I now forget the names of the trails I took, but it seemed all of them were closed at some point in the trail for muddy conditions.  I couldn't find a way up.  I went up and down searching all over.  It was a blast, but I really wanted to go to the top.  So, eventually I found a way to the top.  I am pretty sure the trail I found was open but I didn't care.  I took Jacob's ladder to the top.  I got pretty steep and a bit muddy, but that was nothing compared to the Jeep trail on top.  It was a mud bog.  My Hokas did great in the mud.  They shed the mud pretty well.  The only complaint was I kept getting small rocks into them.  I needed to wear gaiters.  I came down off the top on a different trail and I am pretty sure it was closed since I was the only on on it.  I couldn't find another way down though.  I was loving all the sweet trails.  Eventually, I found myself next to the temple and back on BST.  Awesome trails.
