Great workout today. My schedule has changed and I will be running with Dirt Tours tomorrow. Which is great because we will be running one of my favorite trails, Mueller Park. Hope to see you there.

How many miles is it to the big rock and back? I'm debating if I run it tomorrow or not since I am taking Wednesday off to do a 17-20 mile run up towards Park City.

Elephant Rock is 3.4 miles up the trail (6.8 miles out and back). Even if you don't go all the way up, it's a really nice trail to run on.

Thanks. I couldn't remember. I used to live in Layton for years and ran it once or twice a year. I will probably show up and put in some miles. Just need to get home and do a database reboot before it gets too late tonight.
