Trails!

Home to Dry (plus a bit up canyon) to Providence to home loop (14) -

Some of it was hard effort, some was not.  Good effort overall.

AM: 10 easy miles on Lower Canal Trail and BST.  Pretty typical stuff.  

T- 1:24 800' vert

PM: Was able to get out with my wife on a hike/run/photo trip to Aspen Ridge on the Wellsvilles.  Fun outing.  She drove the truck stopping to take pics while I ran the dirt road.  Then we hiked a bit and returned back the way we came.  There is some good running up there.  6 miles T-1:09 1300' vert

Young Ward Loop 8 Easy - 

Recovery day - 68 mins 133 ave hr

AM: 7 miles in Providence Canyon.  Easy pace.  Well, as easy as that canyon can be.  Its a pretty steady climb the whole way.  Loving the weather in the mornings.

PM: 12 on Ricks / Steel Loop.  We had a huge group today.  Me, Joe, Mike, and Fan all made it.  It was fun with all of us there.  There was still snow patches on Steel so running down it was pretty crazy but fun.  Great outing.

Long Run with Mike - 

Solid 29 mile run with Mike.  Took him on a Bear 100 Course recon (he is running it this year).  We went from Right Hand Fork up Ricks Canyon down to Cowley Canyon aid then up to Richards Hollow and followed that awesmome trail of awesomeness to the trailhead.  Turn around and go back.  Other than the nasy climb from Cowley to Ricks it went really well.  Energy was low but felt decent otherwise.

Had a great week overall.  Good final big week before Scout Mountain 100K.  First time I have broken 90 miles in a week (other than during the Bear100 last year) in a few years.
