4 out and back on Legacy, with Gaby in the stroller and Ash on the bike.  I knew I should stay east to keep out of the sun, but stubbornly held to the plan.  Indeed, it became hot and sunny.

I tried to get Ash to sing "Working on the Railroad" like she used to when we'd go together.  No dice.  I guess 10 is some kind of a threshold for singing silly songs while riding a bike.

The rain showers beckoned me outside to the BST.  I was lazy and got dropped off, rather than make the climb.  The evening meal was sitting high; I should have planned better.  

I didn't go very fast, and it stopped raining within 2 miles.  Still, it was nice to get out in the evening and have temps in the high 60's instead of the 80's.

Walked in on a little kid at the restroom.  Somebody should learn to use a lock.

Out and back to the bridge beyond elephant rock.  After that bridge, the trail starts heading west; that's where I turned around.  Tami came too.  We ran 2 miles up together, then down from the rock together.  Tough climbing.

Out and back up Teton Canyon.  I ran up for 50 minutes, and took nearly as long coming down.  I should have fueled.

Running along the creek in that setting was hands down, the most beautiful run I've ever done.

5 miles, including a 5k in conjuction with my mother's family reunion.  In an extremely shallow field, I brought honor to the pink clan by winning the race.  The course was very short, or the stopwatch timing was way off, (or both) because I know I didn't run a 17:30 5k at altitude.
