| I ran up the Wild Rose Canyon Trail today. It was very wet and muddy from the thunder storm last night. Some of the uphill was slick, an added challenge I hadn't planned on. This a short trail, just as you think 'hey, this is a fun trail', its over. The trail meets up with the North Salk Lake Pipeline Trail. I ran a it for a bit, then came back down the same way I went up. I won't be getting in a whole lot of miles this week, but if I can gete a run in everyday, I will be doing good.

| I ran with the Dirt Tours with the Front run club tonight. We ran up City Creek Canyon. I did a mile warmup before going with the group. We ran the trail that parallels the road up the canyon. The trail is 3 miles long, we did an out an back for 6 miles total. The trail was very green today. Lot of new growth and vegetation. On the back way down Nate took off really fast. I decided to open it up a bit and see how fast I could run the downhill without my knees hurting. I caught up with Nate once, but he ended up beating me down. I was surprised by how fast I was able to come down. My average pace for the downhill was 7:30 per mile. The trail is mile 13 thru 16 of the Wahsatch Steeplechase which I am running next Saturday. Hopefully I will be able to run it as fast as I did today after running 13 miles.

| Today I went to the Utah Running Club Races. I didn't race today though. My wife, Susie, ran her first 10k. I stayed at the park to watch the kids. All of the kids ran a race today too. The three youngest did a 200 meter race. I ran along side Evan to keep him going. He finished last, but it was fun. Connor ran the 1 mile. He did great coming in at 9:33. Susie did great on her race she came in at 58:30. That is a faster pace than she ran her last two 5k's.
I didn't get my run in until the afternoon. I went up to the Mueller Park Trail today. The weather was perfect. I made it up to Elephant Rock in 40 minutes and kept going up the trail. I made it to Rudy's Flat in 1:15. Rudy's Flat is 6.25 from the trailhead with an elevation gain of 1900 ft. I rested at the top for a minute then headed back down towards Mueller Park. I saw five deer while out on my run. Of course it may have been only two deer, because I never saw more the two at once. Towards the end of the run my legs were feeling fatigue and I couldn't keep up the strong downhill pace that i had been doing. I made it down in 59 minutes. This is the longest run I have done since April. I am running the Wahsatch Steeplechase one week from today. Hopefully I will be ready.
