Ran tonight with Dirt Tours. We ran the Red Butte circuit. It was my first run since the marathon. My legs felt pretty good, but they are still recovering. There was a bunch of tiny bugs out tonight. I got bugs in my mouth and bugs in my eyes. When the run was done I had tiny little bugs pasted all over my forehead.

Mueller Park Trail. I started up at 6 a.m. It was still dark and I had to use my headlamp. When I got to Elephant Rock there was a group of 4 people the who had just hiked down from Rudy's Flat in the dark. I continued to head on up the trail. About 10 minutes after Elephant Rock it was light enough that I could turn off my light. I made it to Rudy's flat in 1:20. That's about 5 minutes slower than normal, but still great. A large group of scouts was camped at Rudy's. I chatted with them for a minute while I ate a clif bar, then headed back down. The downhill felt great as usual. On the way down I passed several bikers and hikers coming up. Today I also saw three other runners on the trail. Saturday's are busy at Mueller Park. I made it down in 54 minutes which is a great time. 

Avg pace up 12:42 min/mile (1900ft Gain)
Avg pace down 8:34 min/mile (1900ft Loss)
