Early morning run with Lloyd. Left Sunset Drive at 4:45 with a nearly full moon in the west. My throat felt a bit sore, but wasn't much of an issue during the run. As we were running along the golf course section of the trail north of the houses, we came across what appeared to be a big tarp stretched across the trail. As we stopped and examined it a little closer we were surprised to find that it was a couple of kids in sleeping bags. We told them that they ought to move off the trail as as bikes and other runners would be sure to follow.
From the mouth of American Fork canyon we continued up the canyon a little past where the road splits. It was fairly cool at that altitude, but only really noticeable on the hands. Talked to a couple of other runners on the top that were also doing a 20 miler. Although my throat felt OK, I did feel a bit sickly on the way down. It passed and we finished up the run in good shape. A little bit of soreness in my left Achilles later in the day and on Sunday. |
