Short distance, but crazy difficult.  As part of my post food poisoning resolution is to do as many cool runs on the weekends as possible so I drove up to Brighton to do some run there.  Under 60 degrees when I got there and I was feeling the 3 races in 2 days but I decided to run to Catherine Pass, with an average grade over 10% my pace was pretty paltry, hovering around 11-12 minute pace but I got up there.  The descent was just as slow owing to the steep and post rain slickness and the sheer volume of rocks which made careful foot placement a must.  I added on two Brighton loops to get up the mileage, but overall it was 6.1 miles in 1:02.

Not surprisingly I was pretty tired and sore from the last three days so I did the flattest run I got, Liberty and Sugarhouse parks.  Went nice and slow, but great weather for it.

Legs were not recovering so I took yesterday off, and still felt tired with the quads feeling sore from the race Friday and Saturday.

Quads finally felt better to I drove up Millcreek canyon and then started up little water and kept along the creek where Wasatch Crest trail ends.  Took the crest over to Desolation Lake down then a brutal run/hike up to Dog Lake and finally back down to the Millcreek parking lot.  It took a lot out of me and I barely got under 10' pace.  Link to the route is below.
