PM: 7.25 un the gully. Solo this time. Time was 1:06:34 for a 9:11 pace. I feel like I need to speed this up. Felt pretty good though.

Rob- what's the shortest distance available to run at least some of Pipeline? Where do you start/finish, and what section do you run? I'm looking for the most downhill/fun section.

Wait...are you in town?

I'll be in SLC for a bit at end of June for a family reunion.

The Burch Hollow Trailhead is the best place to start. The trail is gently rolling, not really hilly at all. Pretty rocky in some places.

Are there other trails you'd more highly recommend that are accessible, fun, and fairly easy?
