I ran about a mile on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Centerville, then detoured onto the Deuel Creek South Trail. The trail follows the creek bed and crosses the creek several times. Each crossing has logs with wire mesh over them. I went up the trail for a mile and crossed the creek 5 times. Then I headed back down crossing the creek 5 more times. There were several people out on the Shorline Trail, but I only saw one guy with three dogs on the Deuel Creek Trail. It is a much more difficult trail, but it is also ten times more scenic. Avg Pace - 15:38. I had to walk some of the uphills. I am out of shape right now, but I'll get there.

Yes, I am back. Not running for the past few months was making me crazy. Oh wait, I was crazy before.
