Running around the lake 2X was getting monotonous, not to mention a bit annoying with the crowds on the trails these days, so I plotted out a bigger loop for my run today.

I headed East on South Jordan Parkway almost to Bangerter and then headed South on the Welby Jacobs Canal Trail all the way to 11400 South.  Then I went East on the Entry Loop trail then did my out and back through Founders and Sunflower Park.  By the time I was on the lake trail I had 5 miles in.  I followed the Lake for 1.5 miles then went on the Fish Hook Stream Trail up to Vermillion Drive, then back home.

I am going to call this my Canal Loop.  I had most of the paths to myself except from mile 5.0 to 6.5.  I like this loop.

Total 7.52 miles.

I ran all the way to the Portneuf Wellness Complex and then worked my way up past Satterfield running on all the loops up Jerome in my old neighborhood in the Highland Area.  Nice morning for a run!
