Didn't get much sleep again due to picking friends up at the airport in SLC and not getting back until 2 AM. Went out for a slow easy run. Did 8 miles, but I'm calling it 10 for the day as I immediately went out and hiked another 7 at a brisk pace. This was useful to discover that Jardine Juniper is probably near 100% runnable. We didn't go all the way, but we saw no snow and that was getting nearly to the top of the ridge. Putting that on the list for later this week.

7:05 min. mile is slow for you? Nice work today. I love to run and then hike a couple of miles at the end. I haven't ever heard of Jardine Juniper, but then I don't live in Logan. Is there a big elevation gain or is it just a nice trail run?

Well it depends on how I'm feeling and how long the run is. For 8 miles on a Monday after a rest Sunday 7:05 isn't too strenuous, especially on mostly flat ground. Jardine Juniper is one of my favorite running trails. Mostly smooth and very runnable. It's a gradual climb of about 1900' the whole way out to the tree. About 10 miles round trip out and back.

No snow on Jardine? Awesome. Just know that you'll never break my record!

By the way, DJJ (double jardine juniper) is a great training run for Logan Peak.

Did you ever get up Stump Hollow? Other than when you and I wussed out and drove home in the rain? If not, you gotta go do that one. Probably still has some snow, though.

There was some snow, but not enough to keep me off that trail any longer. :) That second little valley before you make the final ascent was pretty slushy, and more like running up a stream than a trail, but it was doable. There were some BIG drifts near the top, especially on the shady side of the loop, but they were hard enough that you can run on top of them. And your record had better be scared out of its mind. It's going down this summer. :) And yes, I did do Stump Hollow with Cody once. It's on the docket as soon as the snow melts some more.

Yup, I've done Jardine with the stream/snow in the second valley, and huge drifts to get over on the final stretch. Definitely easier on the way down when you can bound across them at high speeds in a few steps, as opposed to going uphill.
