In search of old age PRs

Cool trail run above City Creek with Jason.  We tried to find Treasure Box Mine and were about 1/2 mile from the lakes.  After downloading the GPS course we now know where the mine is located and will find it on the next run up.  It was very wet at the top.  It must have rained that morning at the higher elevation.  I plan on bringing an extra pair of socks on the next run.

Longer morning run up into the Avenues then over to the U/Hospital area before heading back past the zoo and home.  I do not understand why there are no sidewalks in front of the University Hospital!

Interval work at East High School.  8 x 800 with warm up and cool down.  The track was very busy this morning.  Also, a very strong wind coming from the northeast made for a difficult work-out.  I continue to uses these 800 as my "Yasso-guide" for St. George.  I averaged about a 2:47, so close to my goal marathon of 2:45:00.  I will add another in August then finally 10 in September.

Trail run with Jason up Millcreek and onto the Pipeline trail.  The Pipeline trail is a great, flat trail, the only problem is the climb getting up to it out of the canyon.  We need to find a easier connector to the trail rather than using Rattlesnake gulch.   

Run with the group out in Kearns/Copper Hills.  We ran about 8 miles out to Copper Hills and did 3 x 1.75 mile tempos at sub 10K pace before returning a back to to Kearns.  It was a tough work-out. 

Later in the day I took my 3-year old camping and we hiked up and through Timpanogos cave.  This was harder than the run, but my kid loved it.  We were joined later in the day by one of my running buddies and his two young sons for a fun and exhausting camp out.
