I drove up to the  mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon to meet Craig and Aaron for a run. I got there early, so I ran two warmup miles of the Little Cottonwood trail. All three us of rode up to Alta in Craig's car. We ran a large loop which included summiting Mt Baldy (Elevation 11080 ft). The temperature was perfect. Part way up my legs felt heavy and I dropped back a bit from the others guy. On the way down, I was able to keep up, until the last mile when Aaron really poured it on. Felt pretty good overall, but I think I am still recovering from Logan Peak. We took a few pictures, but I will have to put them up later.

Nice image! I love when people show their maps of where they ran. Puts things into perspective. You boys are truly tough with lot's of endurance and stamina. Very admirable.
