I was in Logan at USU for student teaching orientation all day and evening. I knew that I needed to go on some kind of run before I missed another day, so I headed out around 7:30pm. This run tonight was only 7 miles but it was the equivalent of about 14. I went on a trail that my father in-law told me about, took a wrong turn, and ended up way on the mountain below White Rock. The trail was supposed to climb pretty good for a mile and head North and I climbed an extra 1,000 feet in one mile. I thought that he had played a dirty trick on me, but it turns out I just took the wrong trail. I ended up 2/3s the way up the mountain. I had a couple of miles around 15-16 minutes to let you know how steep that puppy was. I finally turned around and headed back down and got lost again (there are a lot of 4 wheeler trails). I eventually found the trail that I was supposed to be on in the first place and made my way back. It was dark by this time and I had a hard time making my way down the mountain without killing myself. At last I made it back home, right before they sent out the recue team! That was easily the hardest 7 mile run that I have ever done!
