Pretty sore today.  Definitely tired.  Hips are unhappy.

Biked up to Deer Fence and ran over to Millville Canyon on Deer fence to check out the fire that some shooters started yesterday.  It wasn't too bad

Bike - 45 mins

Happy 4th of July - 

In order to celebrate properly Joe and I took to the trails.  What else would you do? 

We got up early and drove to North Ogden Divide (Pass?) to run to Ben Lomond Peak.  I have never been on that trail and I have to say that it rocks!  No its not THAT rocky, its just a cool trail.  Definitely one of my favorites.  The only complaint I have is that I was too tired from last saturday to really enjoy the trail fully.  I found myself slogging along in 50 mile pace for most of the run.  Good times though. 

1:33 to Ben Lomond Peak

1:50 to Willard Peak(ish) turnaround.

2:20 back to Ben Lomond

3:20 back at the car

8 miles around river heights and providence.  We were all fogged in and I came home dripping wet.

Trail Run!

Today Joe and I were graced with the presence of Mr. Logan Fielding (a.k.a.Quadsimodo).  Yep, we felt honored.  It was nice to be able to enjoy the sweet trails around logan with some fellow running nerds.  

Today's mission was to run a large section the Bear100 course (why not?).  We had to do a bit of a shuttle to get the cars all set up, but we still hit the trails just after 6.  We ran from Temple Fork (mile 45.1) to Logan River Aid (mile 69.5) then continued on down the Franklin basin road (2 more miles or so) to the car. 

Before we ran today, I looked up Jon's 2010 race splits so that I could have a "ghost runner" so I could get an idea of how fast one must run to break 21 hours on this brutal course.  (* Disclaimer) To be fair, we sort of skipped the first 45 miles and 12K feet of climbing he did before he got to Temple Fork. Plus we called it a day at mile 70 when he got to keep going.  So, even though we destroyed the splits of his ghost runner, he shouldn't feel too bad.

So, the splits I got were these:

Temple to Tony Grove - Jon - 1:45 - Us - 1:15

Tony Grove to Franklin Aid - Jon - 1:50 - Us - 1:27

Franklin Aid to Logan River Aid - Jon - 1:45 - Us - 1:28

Jon - 5:20 - Us 4:10

Yep, your math is right, we ran 2:51 seconds a mile faster.  Take that Ghost Jon! (*see disclaimer above).

I do love these trails and am REALLY looking forward to enjoying 100 miles of them in 83 days, but who's counting? Thanks joe and logan for a great time!  Even if you threw down some sub 6 miles over the last 3 miles leaving me in your dust.  Show offs!
