Mueller Park Trail.

Striders Running is putting on their "Catch me if you can" challenge. Last year it was Malan's Peak. This year it is Mueller Park. The cool thing about this challenge is that you can run trail trail anytime in the next two month's. The winner gets $150 and a pair of shoes. Second and third place also get a pair of shoes.

My time this morning was 1:01:20. 36:12 up and 25:08 down. It is not going to be the fastest time for the challenge, nor is it a PR for me. My PR on this trail is 55:30. I hope to break that during this challenge.

Met up with Kam and Russ this morning. We had a great run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I had to bail early because we are going to Idaho today for a family reunion. Did the second half of the run by myself. Thanks for the great morning run guys.

Up in Island Park, Idaho for a family reunion. I ran up a dirt road for 4 miles and then came back. Looking on a map later, the name of the road was  Blue Creek Rd.

Spent 10 hours on the road today and I am in St. George now. It was 108 degrees when I got here. I ran just after dark and it was still extremely hot out.

It was a little cooler at 5 a.m. this morning, but still plenty warm. I did 5.8 miles at about a 9 min pace.

Made a second attempt on the Mueller Park trail for the "catch me if you can" challenge. According to the post on Striders blog, my previous attempt put me in third place. Today's time was 2:16 faster than last weeks. My time up was 35:44 and the total time was 59:04. Which is good enough for 2nd place. That is if they haven't received any faster times that haven't been posted yet. I think that I can still shave another 5 minutes off of my time. 3 minutes faster going up and 2 minutes faster coming down.

Ran the Flag Rock Run at the Farmington Festival Days today. It was a super fun trail race with some killer climbs and free breakfast.

Mueller Park Trail. I joined up with some friends this morning and ran all the way up to Rudy's Flat. On the was down, I took a fall. I have ran that trail over 100 times without falling but such was not the case today. It banged up my knee a bit, but it wasn't too bad.

Wild Rose Trail. 

Did a quick easy run this morning because I have a lot going on today.

 Good luck to all the runners doing Speedgoat today.
