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.
