One of the best runs I've ever had occurred this morning.  Katey was a doll and offered to drive up in the car with 8 crazy running men to Zion.  We started at the West Rim Trail and came down through Angels Landing.  It was one of those runs where words cannot describe how beautiful it was.  We started up around 7500 feet elevation and had a couple nasty hills to deal with but it was some of the best running I have ever done.  It was fun because we stopped to enjoy the scenery and we also stopped to make sure Steve was okay from his fall :)  We encountered a little bit of snow but not that much.  It was really fun popping onto the Angel's Landing trail and running with the shirts off while all of the hikers were bundled up in really warm clothes.  Clyde, Dave, and I were feeling spry so we ran all the way back down to the main entrance and found everyone else.

We all agreed that we will be doing this run more often.  At least a couple times a year.  It was so relaxing and enjoyable.  It got me really motivated for the winter of running down here in St. George.

 Thanks again Katey for driving us.  You are wonderful!

Thanks for pulling us along the whole way! And tell Katey thanks once again. That was an amazing experience!

Tell Katey thanks again. Next time maybe you could bring the pace down so some of us older guys could keep up?

That sounds awesome Logan... but 20 miles may have put me over the edge today. It is awesome down here!

Hey Logan - Way to kill us up the hills. We'll have to find some other cool runs to do this fall/ winter. Once again tell Katey thank for driving and your Dad for letting us use the wagon.
