Dare to be great!

Day 95: Headed up solo to Canyon Glen Park run up the trail until I hit some more trails the ran those trails until I found more trails to run down... don't remember the names of them just hit whatever one looked the most promising.  

Had a really good time, I used to mountain bike these same trails years ago when I first moved to Utah from Florida.  Brought back some really good memories...

Drove up to Monrovian and hit the Second Left hand fork trail heading up the mountain.  I ran up the steep trail until I hit 48 minutes.  Sat down for a couple minutes and enjoyed the view and the elk running around then flew back down.  My climbing legs are surely getting stronger.

Day 97: Had to reclaim my course record on the convervation corps trail heading up from the water towers in Richfield.  An imposter from LA came and stole it by 8 seconds.  Mission accomplished.  Fun racing up the mountain, should do this every couple months as a benchmark to test my training.  Then just looped around on different trails and exploring some side canyons.

Just some easy recovery time in the hills.  Ran from the hot springs up into the canyons above them.  Just cruising around exploring different routes up there.  Saw quite a few elk and two bulls still packing around their antlers.  Got an erie feeling working my way back down through the boulders.  Don't get those very often.  Took it really easy coming down just in case and called my wife to let her know my location.  Nothing happened but you never know.  Maybe it was the ancient native americans known to frequent the area...  

Day 99:  Headed out with the pup from the canyon road along the foothills heading south, there is no trail just working my way along through the rocks and cactus.  Worked my way south heading uphill.  There is a ton of deer along this route and found a nice 3 point deer shed in my wanderings.  Just took it easy and enjoyed having the day off work and the good weather.

DAY 100:  Woohoo made it to 100 days running in a row (minus Sundays) Decided to celebrate with a morning run up Thompson Basin, ran the whole way up to the towers on the top.  Stopped and watched a couple paragliders taking off from the top.  Continued around the face to the bowl on the backside of Cove Mountail along the single track trail.  Hit some deeper snow just before first left hand fork so decided it was a good spot to turn around.  Almost 3500' if climbing.  Nice run up there this morning.  Elk,deer, rabbits, grouse, and other small critters to keep me company.  Now off to some yard work...
