| Is there mud on your shoes? Mine got caked with mud this morning. I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline trail in North Salt Lake. There is a half mile section of the trail that is clay like mud and really sticks to my shoes. It's been three weeks since my last run. It felt great to get out and run again, but two miles into the run, I could tell that I am way out of shape. So it's time to recommit myself to running regularly and start working on some new goals. | | Comments(7) |

| This morning I attempted to run the Holbrook Canyon trail. The small creek that runs down the canyon was roaring fast with the most water that I have ever seen. I only made it up about a half mile before I came to a creek crossing that didn't have a bridge. I looked around for alternate options but didn't find any and headed back down. I was not going to attempt to cross that creek. That would've been suicide. I finished off the run with a few miles on the roads near the temple. I saw four dear munching grass on the hillside. I invited them to come running with me, but they weren't interested. | | Comments(5) |

| Legacy Parkway Trail. Today's run felt very good. This was the first run in a long time that I ran sub 10 minute miles. That still isn't fast, but it's improvement. | | Comments(2) |

| Mueller Park Trail. At the trailhead there were signs that said the trail was closed 1.5 miles up because of the Kern River Gas Project. I headed up anyway and when I got the the pipeline ditch I ignored the signs and headed across. The better part of the trail is above the pipeline. I hope they finish this project soon, because it is making an awful mess. | | Comments(1) |

I started at the Wild Rose Trail and headed all the way up to Three Dudes. Three Dudes is a group of rock formations. This trail has is awesome, but it has some serious vert. It's nearly 3000 ft of gain. 2929 ft according to Garmin Connect. I reached the dudes right at sunrise. I rested for a bit then headed back down the same way. This week was a progressive week. Each run was further than the day before. This wasn't planned, but I noticed it was the case on Thursday and decided to continue it on Friday and Saturday. | | Comments(2) |

| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. The trail was dry today. The run felt pretty good. It's nice to be able to run 4 miles again without feeling like I going to die. | | Comments(2) |

| I started at Twin Hollow Park and headed up the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to Deuel Creek. I turned and went up the canyon. This trail crosses the creek several times. Bridge #1 was in good condition. Bridge #2 had moved downstream about 5 feet but was still usable. Bridge #3...what happened to Bridge #3. It was no where to be found. I head back down and finished off the run on the Shoreline trail. I ran over to Parrish Creek and then back to the park. | | Comments(1) |

| Ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Centerville. I headed over to Ricks Creek and went up to an awesome waterfall. On an interesting note, Ricks Creek was named after my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather. | | Comments(2) |
