I got up this morning at 4 am and drove down to Bryce Canyon. Ran from Fairyland Point to Sunrise and back and then a smidgen on the Rim trail. 9:10 pace with lots of climbing. Then I drove back home. So 9 hours of driving and 2 hours of running.

My throat is sore because I sang a lot in the car both ways.

Nice trip. What were the highlights of the singalong?

How are snow conditions in Bryce Canyon around Thanksgiving?

I'm sure your legs felt great once you got home.

Vis - A little Chuck Prophet, a little Sturgill Simpson, and lots of old R.E.M. as you might expect.

DD - Perfect day today and just a couple patches of snow.

I guess I shouldn't whine about driving 20 minutes to run then, huh?

I would say one of your best, recent posts. That last line caught me by surprise.

Sounds like a great day. Have a happy thanksgiving.
