I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail heading South from the North Salt lake side. I ran up to the lowest of the radio towers. My calves were burning a bit and wanted me to stop and walk the hill, but I pushed to the top.

Today I was planning on running the Wahsatch Steeplechase course. But I slept in and had a lot of things going on today, so maybe I will run that next week.

I ran the Mueller Park trail today instead. I ran all the way up to Rudy's flat. I like to think of this run as a double 10k. It's 6.2 miles each way, this first being uphill, the second downhill. So my first 10k took me 1:15 minutes. My second 10k took me 48 minutes. It was great morning for a run.
