We had our region cross country meet today so I didn't get my run in until about 9pm this evening.  The girls' team made it to state but the boys' team didn't.  I am proud of the boys and all that they accomplished this year.

I came home and found a little mold next to the fridge due to a leak in the hose for the ice machine.  I was not happy so I decided to head out the door and see how I felt on the run.  I ran from my house over towards Sunbrook and then looped around back to Ivins on Snow Canyon Parkway.  I hit 13 miles for the run.  It was perfect temps this evening!

I helped Dave out with his region cross country meet today so I didn't get my run in until late again.  I was the "pace car" driving the four wheeler out front.

I ran from my house this evening and then did a loop over towards my parent's house for a total of 7 miles.  Another nice evening!

An easy 3.5 miles after work today.  Nothing extremely fancy to report!

I had an incredible run this morning.  Steve H., Bill, Scott, James, Clyde, and I drove up to Zion National Park and ran the West Rim Trail.  We started at just over 7500 feet elevation so it was a little chilly.  It was also quite dark. 

We ran nice and easy today and stopped quite a bit for pictures.  It is some of the most beautiful scenery and country around.  Clyde posted the pics on Facebook if anyone is interested.  It was a really enjoyable run except for the tragedy with the baby deer falling of the edge of the cliff.  We came on to it and were really quiet but it got scared and slipped off.  We all felt pretty guilty but I guess that is the circle of life.

One of the funnest runs I have ever done.  Everyone should have the opportunity to run this trail.  It is beautiful the entire time and it finishes on Angel's Landing so it makes the last little bit very special.
