Top all-time run today. I ran the Fairyland Loop from Sunrise Point to Fairyland Point in Bryce Canyon NP. 5.8 miles each way. The Fairyland Point parking lot is closed with lots of snow so no one was coming the other direction. Only passed 2 people on the way out so I felt like I had an entire national park to myself. Once I got to Fairyland I sat for a few minutes, ate a cliff bar and drank some water and did some contemplating. Then I headed back. 

Really nice to get away for a couple days. Track season starts this week and I will only have one day/week off between now and mid-May with just a couple exceptions and on those Saturday's I'll have practice.

I put some pictures on my twitter. @murphy_rob
