Was supposed to run with Josh, but screwed up. Was TAing a lab in MEB and just enough time to get to SMBB, grab my running clothes, change, and meet him by the trax. I forgot that my shoes were in my car and didn't realize until I was grabbing my running clothes and about to change. Of course, my car keys were still in MEB, so I had to sprint back to lab, grab them, sprint to my car (in the wrong direction), and sprint back past SMBB and up to trax. By the time I got there, I was 10-15 minutes late and he was already gone. Sorry Josh. Anyway, I did a kind of weird route that I've managed to remember every twist and turn of, and have mapped out. SMBB to MEB to car to trax to JCC, up 3 different trails to BOSHO (screwed this up), to Red Butte, up Mt Van Cott, along a few paths on the ridge looking for the best possible view (i haven't been up this peak in ages), back down the front, back through JCC, and back. 7.1 miles with 1700' gain, most of it coming in the very steep climb up the peak.
