Lunch run with Jun and Dorsimus on the BST in Draper/Sandy. I showed up at the trailhead and thought Karl Meltzer would be joining us, as he was chatting with the boys, but he took off a little before we did.
Jun set a really good pace and it wasn't long before Karl came into view, but I think he pushed his pace a bit and we never did quite catch up to him before he turned off on another trail at mile 3. It was very humid out there today and the weather was just fickle. It would be hot for a few minutes and then windy and cold with some mist and light showers mixed in, and then back to hot.
Once we got up to Corner Canyon we started getting into more mud and when we turned off on the Clark's trail it was mostly muddy all the way down, but we still managed to run a pretty fast pace. At the bottom we took a trail back up to the BST and then had a nice easy run back to the cars, although the wind picked up and was a little annoying. When we stopped to take a quick break at the top of the largest hill we saw a golden eagle flying just below us. It was really impressive to watch it glide around with ease.
