Our final run in Seattle. Came across a lush green forested area with some nifty trails and managed not to get too lost.

The hardest 11-miler I've done for a while. Down in St George and ran the Bearclaw Poppy Trail with Kimi as soon as it was light enough to not be treacherous. Carried 2 water bottles but wasn't really enough and I really died the last 5 miles or so. But Kim dragged me along to the end and all is well. Need to do some heat training it would appear.

Payson Canyon downhill. Didn't go well for Kim as she popped her calf muscle and had to power walk most of the way down. Luckily no hungry bears were out and about. Hope she heals up quick!
