I met Jun at the Capitol building at 6:00 am this morning and after about 5 minutes Twinkies showed up. He was running 33 miles today, while Jun and I were planning on 15. The first mile was up the road to the trailhead up City Creek Canyon. The wind was cold, and my legs were feeling a little sore from the Olympus hike.

The trail was very tough. It was mostly snow with hard slush. It wasn't easy to run at all , but it was fun. It seemed like it was steep forever, and I kept asking Jun when it was going to get flat. Twinkies and Jun were faster than me, and they waited a few times for me to catch up. Both of them looked strong.

We were planning on running all the way to Red Butte and possibly going to the summit, but I ran out of time. At 8:00 I knew I had to turn around because of the time. I was at the base of Mt. Van Cott when I decided to go back. I ran into an older gentleman that I politely asked to tell Jun and Twinkies what I had done, but I guess he forgot or missed them. A little after the Twin Peaks Jun came flying up from behind and we ran together for a few minutes before he turned on the jets.

I had to stop to take a few gels because my energy was gone, and after I was finished Twinkies met up with me. We ran together the rest of the way, and I couldn't believe how fast he was going. He was on mile 22 of his run and I could barely keep up. On the steep sections I almost fell a few times, and I was really trying hard not to because of my sore arm.

Got back to the cars about 9:15 where we had some food and cold drinks, and then said goodbye to Twinkies, who was going to run another 8 miles home. That run was very challenging, and I am really impressed with how he was moving.

It was a perfect day.

No worries about the food Twinkies. It was a lot of fun running with you today. I really enjoyed trying to stay with you on the technical downhill.
