| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Today was a great success for my running career. Not because of the run, but because I made it back on Burt's Favorite Blogs list. Thanks Burt. | | Comments(7) |

| Wild Rose Trail. Quick little run with lots of vert. I will have to check, but I think there is 1500 ft vert gain in the first mile and a half. | | Comments(2) |

| I ran the Mueller Park Trail for the second Saturday in a row, but this time I saw two moose. The first one surprised me. I was on the switchbacks only a half mile up the trail. I usually don't see moose down that low. It was a young bull. The second one was just before Elephant Rock. It was a calf. I was hoping it mother wasn't nearby. Luckily I never saw it parents. The trail was nice today. The last mile still has lots of snow. The are stretches of clear trail followed by snow to hike through, then another good stretch. I made it up in 52 minutes, 3 minutes faster than last week. On the way down, after I was past most of the snow, I opened things up a bit. It felt great and my mile 6 time was 7:10. The down time was 33 minutes, 9 minutes faster than last week. | | Comments(5) |

| Late run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It was a muddy mess, but that's was what I expected since it has been raining for the last two days. I hope the trails dry out soon. | | Comments(1) |

| Today I ran the UTVA 5k with my kids. It was a 5k for their school. They are homeschooled, but UTVA is an online program that they use. There were about 50 kids at the race. Our whole family ran this race. Connor ran by himself. I pushed Evan and Eliza in a double stroller and ran along side Jed. Susie ran with Jaxine. Susie is also carrying one in the oven. Connor took off and ran great. He finished in 29:27. I think he finished eight over all. Jed and Jaxine stayed close together for the first half. Jaxine slowed down for the second half. Jed kept a steady pace the whole time and finished in 39:03. After finishing with Jed, I ran back with the stroller and ran in with Jaxine. She finished in 45:07. This was her first 5k. After we came home, I ran a bit more. I went to the Mueller Park Trail. The trail was incredible today. The rain had made every very green. I made it up to Elephant rock in 43:40. There were only patches of snow up to the rock. I decided to go up further. About 3/4 of a mile above the rock there is a bridge crossing. The bridge had lots of snow, so I decided to turn around. 8.5 miles total on the Mueller Park Trail. I am thinking of putting together an unofficial half marathon race on the Mueller Park Loop Trail. Anyone interested? | | Comments(6) |

| Snow on Memorial Day? Really? Took the boys, Connor and Jed, to a 5k this morning at 7 a.m. The weather did not cooperate. During the race we got rained on, snowed on, and hailed on. We got soaked. I asked them part way through if they wanted to finish, and they both said that they did. So we kept going. Didn't stick around for the pancake breakfast. Came home and had breakfast indoors instead. | | Comments(2) |
