"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

10 miles on the BST starting in Kaysville and heading north along the wasatch 100 course. High thin overcast, 75 - ishF. After getting a PR for this route going out, I was reduced to a floppy bag of poo for the last couple of miles coming back. Still, rewarding to finish a run under those circumstances.

WT 38.9 miles

Nice work! Love that trail! Gets a little steep once you start heading up the Great Western. :) I try to resolve the floppy poo stuff at fernwood when I have the chance - but the timings not always right. Ha ha, good run.

Nice run. I really want to come do that one soon.

Scott - let me know if you plan to come out here for a run, I'd like to join up with you guys. I think Dorsimus lives pretty close to where the W100 starts.
