I thought I would get up this morning and run some mountain trails but my daughter spent the night at grandmas and my wife had to go to work early and the allure of a quiet house and no chance of interruption kept me in bed until 10 am. By the time I woke up it was too hot to hit the road or trail so I hit the TM again for a relaxing 6 miles.

I'm staying in Eden for the weekend so I decided to run at Snowbasin. I took a look at a trail map and decided to run needles trail to the top of the resort. when i got up there the guy running the chair lift offered me a ride down but i declined. The trail wasn't as nice as mueller but it was longer. If I had more time I could have made it 20+, but my wife was already complaining so I had to come back. I think the vert will be close to 3k when I sync the watch.
