7 p.m. The weather is perfect. The mountains look awesome. Well . . . I'm tired of waiting for my body to heal, I'm going for a trail run.

I ran 2 miles on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. My joints felt awfully stiff at the first, but after a mile I was warmed up and felt surprisingly good. Lots of folks out on the trail today. My average pace ended being 10:07. Not bad for not having ran since January.

I ran about a mile on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Centerville, then detoured onto the Deuel Creek South Trail. The trail follows the creek bed and crosses the creek several times. Each crossing has logs with wire mesh over them. I went up the trail for a mile and crossed the creek 5 times. Then I headed back down crossing the creek 5 more times. There were several people out on the Shorline Trail, but I only saw one guy with three dogs on the Deuel Creek Trail. It is a much more difficult trail, but it is also ten times more scenic. Avg Pace - 15:38. I had to walk some of the uphills. I am out of shape right now, but I'll get there.
