Where were you at 6 a.m.?

I was out on the Wahsatch Steeplechase course. I didn't run the whole course, just some of the fun parts. It should be good training for the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase next Saturday. I started and the Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead in City Creek Canyon and headed up to the base of Black Mountain. I turned around when it got to the nasty steep section and head back down the same way I had come up. It was a great morning for a run.

I was on TOU course at 6 am. As for next week, I hope I'm in town for Jupiter, but it's very doubtful. The trip is supposed to be 10-14 days, but I would come home this weekend if nothing is happening I need to see.

Nice run. Glad you got out. That trail is so much fun, especially that section of it.

Good luck in the Steeplechase.
