Instead of a running Kim and I decided to make the most of our play day down in So Utah and hike up to Observation Point in Zion NP. What an awesome place we live and weather was near perfect! We also checked out Hidden Canyon on the way down so ended up with around 10 miles hiking total.

Still in St George so we I got some work done early then after the sun came out we did some trail running (ok plenty of walking too on the heavy uphill and treacherous parts) near the condo up/down the Zen trail. Another beautiful morning we both enjoyed the whole experience immensely.

Another dandy trail run near the condo this time on the Bearclaw Poppy trail via a shortcut thru the Green Valley Gap.

Back in Spanish fork and running on asphalt. Surprisingly it was even warmer in SF in the morning than it was in St George.
