Spent the afternoon hiking through stunning landscapes in Capitol Reef National Park. We are staying in an eclectic cabin in Torrey for the next couple days. I found some dirt roads that head into the Fishlake National Forest, so that's where I can be found in the mornings and evenings while we're down here. I love this part of the world.

AM - 26 mile long run. 7:00/mile avg, ~7000 feet elevation. Torrey / Teasdale area. Totally misjudged how dark it is here at 5am! And windy. Caught a spectacular sunrise in the middle, and finished with the Garmin beeping some sort of jingle to let me know I had  set a personal record of 26.37 miles. I don't plan on running that far again this fall unless I start running tangents like an idiot.

Spent the day along Highway 12. Hiked to Calf Creek Falls for a swim!
