Logan High with the kids in the stroller.  The recovery is going well. Soreness is gone, fatigue is lessening.  Break is over.

13 of the slowest/steepest/rockiest/bush and poky branches cutting the legs infested/best views of both Cache Valley and Box Elder County at the same time / most awesomest/ Miles I have ever run on the Wellsvilles today with Jon.  Very cool indeed.  We started at Deep Canyon at 5:30 and ended at Rattlesnake Gulch in the dark.  Last 2 miles were run by light of the moon.  I will post pics of the amazing views someday.

Another epic trail run.  This was the farewell run for Jon.  I wish him luck in finding another training partner in South Carolina.  But even harder than that, is the difficulty in finding a run to match this one.  Sorry to rub it in, Jon.  We will miss you though. 

Beirdneau Peak to Mt. Elmer to Mt. Jardine to Green Canyon.  Awesome loop.  I will have to try it the other direction to see which I like better.  I sure enjoyed the fast descent in Green and know it would not be the same to descend down the Beirdeneau trail. 

Anyway, the run started off bad as I had an alarm clock issue and missed my wakeup.  Jon called and that woke me up but now we were 25 mins behind.  Sorry again guys.  I had a deadline to meet up with some friends at 11 am so the early start was necessary.  I liked it though as we got to see the sun rise and even run in the cooler temps for longer.  The grunt up to Beirdneau was a doozy but with the awesome views, very worth it.  After that, things just got harder as the trail was faint and was relentless rolling (up) hills at 8500'.  We eventually made it to Mt. Elmer and scrambled to the summit for some pictures and a breather.  2.5 hours to run 10 miles.  Seriously? 

The next highlight was the random bush-whack over to Mt. Jardine.  If there is an easy way from Elmer to Jardine, we sure were not on it.  We eventually made it to the top to only talk Jon out of looking for the real way down to Green Canyon.  We erroneously convinced him another bush-whack was in order.  Straight down the mountian and down a ravine until we hit the real trail down Green.  Not a route I will repeat.  Ever.  But very cool.

The descent down Green Canyon was once again a race and Jon led the charge.  I stayed with him until a biff slowed me up a bit.  Very fun stuff though. I love that canyon.  Except for the bikers on Saturday morning.  Too busy.  Mission accomplished, loop completed and definetly one to remember.
