Ravings and Blather

Big Titty Loop with an extra 1.5 through the Business District.  Havent done this loop in a while but wanted to get some views of the city with all the snow on this beautiful day of sun.  Stunning views along Wasatch Blvd by Mt Olympus.  

 Right hip still feels really tight in back, but trying to work it out.  Avg 9:06 for the run with a near death experience thrown in as the garbage truck whisked a bit close.  

I am calling this a run even though there wasnt much sustained running given all the mud, snow, back tracking etc.  I wanted to explore the BST behind Research park area with hopes of running to the Avenues area but given construction blockage etc, just stayed around the area and some in This is the Place State Park.  Trails are muddy and wet...need to dry out a bit and it looks like a fun area to run.  Then cleaned out the house gutters... that should be some bonus miles right there.

Long night of call fixed with a great outing today.  Wanted to get in some trail, but the ones I've been on lately are super wet.  So ventured south to run by Dimple Dell.  Started at the Orgil/Granite Trailhead and ran up the switches to Bell Canyon Reservoir, ran around the Lake as best as I could in the slushy snow.  Then went down the Bell Canyon trailhead to Wasatch Blvd then basically went exploring into the Dimple Dell Regional Park area and ran mostly along some equestrian trail until I hit about one hour into the adventure and went back.  Beautiful area 10 minutes from my home that I really didnt know existed.  Pace was slow partially because I had no idea where I was headed and butt still hurts a lot but was great to be out.
