Finnally a long run.  18 miles took me over 4 1/2 hours on snow packed trails.

Drove to Morris Meadows trail head to start above most of the bad air.  Took BST to Red Butte.  Up on the higher parts of the trail it was gorgeous!  Blue skies and much warmer temps.  Lower parts of the trail were still ok but a bit colder.  Most of the trail was in pretty good shape with snow packed firm and flat.  Some sections were a bit messy with punch throughs and slide offs.  I completely biffed only once.

At first I read, "some sections were a bit messy with punch ..." and I was wondering why there was punch on the trails!! Which then made me thirsty for some Hawaiian punch ... which I haven't had since grade school!!! WEIRD!!!! :) :) :)

Sounds like a very nice run!! (For you, that is. I haven't been able to find the inner wahoo that it takes to do any kind of workout that lasts more than two hours.)

Seriously ... NICE!!! :)
