Trails!

PM: Took the morning off to sleep in.  Glorious.  Took the kids to Logan High in the stroller so they could run a lap.  They were pretty excited.  Win/Win

4 miles - no watch.

Deer Fence Loop - 

Within 2 houses I knew something was wrong.  Not sure how to describe it.  Pain in my butt/groin/hamstring.  It reduced me to a walk numerous times in the first half mile.  Things loosened up though and by mile 2 I broke 9 mins/mile.  Weird tightness.  I could feel it in the hammy for the run but was able to get going after a while.  Better keep an eye on it.

Trail Run with Joe - 

Ricks Steel Hollow Loop.  One of the best after-work runs around.  Mostly shady with lots of sweet singletrack.  They recently moved the trail out of the bottom of the valley to the sidewall.  Makes for a less rocky route but not as cool.  Its only for the first 2 miles of Ricks though.  I made joe run with me around the dirt parking lot loop to make it an even 12.  OCD.

Nice 'n easy 

Von's Park

Plenty of niggles lately.  Must be time to taper I guess. 

Took the family camping last night to Right Hand Fork, just below camp Lomia.  We got a decent (free) spot next to the creek.  I got up a bit before the family and went for my run.  They had breakfast and went on a hike.  I ran from camp to Right Hand Fork trailhead then went up Willow to Ephraims Grave Cutoff and over to visit the grave.  Spectacular morning to be in the mountains.  Capped off the run by heading down Steel Hollow and back to camp.  Wonderful course.  I would be satisfied if that were the only run I could ever do (over and over).  It's that good.
