Run RF

Easy 10 with Jake, Andrea and Fritz, felt a little pooped after the long run yesterday.

Felt great for my Liberty Park run.  Probably the best I've felt in several weeks.

AM:  City Creek Canyon, that good feeling from last night was gone so it was back to slogging through.

PM: My buddy got back to me and were heading north for trail running Wednesday! I knocked out 5.7 hitting Liberty Park.  Also for all you Garmin addicts I did the same run yesterday afternoon and this afternoon the Garmin said 5.77 and 5.61 miles respectively for a 5.7 mile run. 

Ran to Liberty and Sugarhouse while my car was getting inspected.

Up to school, then back and around the aves.  Tomorrow begins my epic adventure north!

Ran liberty before jj got in.

Pm 7 miles got to our campsite n Gros Ventre and felt good so went out on the road to Kelly and back.

Started at Jenny Lake Lodge and ran out to Bearpaw lake, several stops for pictures and a few wrong turns at the end left us at the car with 10.5 in. Hiked Gros Ventre Butte in the afternoon for another 4 miles on the legs.

AM ran up to Amplitheatre lake, tough...three thousand feet of climbing in less than five miles, but awesome views. Stopped for a while for pictures and exploring before a big descent, name of the game was rocks and roots. Then pizza and into town for a resupply. After we went to Phelps Lake to jump from Jump Rock, 23' down to 30' water and then a run back.

Up early for the drive to Yellowstone park. Reached old faithful, walked around and watched the eruption then did a loop out to M something lake. Legs were not recovered from the run yesterday so it was a death march up. The gradual descent was very welcome, then we stopped for a quick hike to the grand prismatic spring and over to the grand canyon of Yellowstone to see a big waterfall. Unfortunately there were a ton of clunkers in the way, highlighted by a 350 pound man waddling down steep switchbacks. Then a long drive out to camp and a very welcome shower.
