Avenue Twin Peaks with Jun: What a fun day!!! With the dry trails and almost perfect weather it would have been a sin not to get out into the mountains today. Jun and I had a really fun run from the Capitol building up City Creek Canyon to the summit of the Avenues Twins. I spent most of the time trying to keep up with Jun and he pushed a pretty good pace the whole way. My legs were actually feeling pretty good on the way up and I ran more of the route today than I ever have. I even ran the steep hills that I usually hike, but I was still not able to keep up with Jun. He was looking strong out there all day. I made it to the top in about 57 minutes which is my fastest time up. We took a quick break and then pushed it pretty good all the way back to the car. My legs started to feel pretty fatigued by about mile 8, but I just pushed through it. We had a lot of fun chatting and enjoying the sweet temps and views. Awesome day!
