Lake Mountain with Craig:

I love early morning Sunday runs. I usually run on Sunday mornings with Craig or solo and we had a really fun run up to Lake Mt. The temps were cool and we beat the storm that was slowly moving over the Wasatch Front. We didn't push it on the way up, but still hit the top in a respectable 1:08. We hung out on the summit for a few minutes enjoying the view and then had a fun run down discussing some possible adventure runs. The perfect way to start my day.

I went to boot camp at the gym with Kristina. We did an hour of weights and cardio circuits. Great sweat.

Running on the track at the gym: I'm not a fan. That said sometimes it is necessary when it gets dark so early. I am also not a fan of running on the roads in the dark, so I opted for the track. I do end up running faster on the track than I do on the trails, so I guess I can count this as speed work. :)

Ave Twin Peaks with Mark K:

I was meeting Mark at the Ave Twins trailhead, but I wanted a few extra miles, so I parked at the Capitol building and ran to the TH to meet Mark. Mark and I had a really fun run for about 3 miles before he had to turn around. From there I was on my own up to the summit and back down.

It was a fantastic day outside and one of those days that make running in the Fall awesome. The temps were so nice and the trail was in perfect condition. I cruised up to the top of both peaks where I took a break to take in the view (never gets old) and have a gel.

The run down was a blast. I found a gear that felt good and stayed with it all the way back down. By time I hit the pavement I was pretty tired and hungry, so that last mile was a bit of a slog, but I got it done.
