AM: River Trail 8. Legs were feeling good so pushed a bit on the way up but keep it reasonable on the way down.  Didn't want to aggravate the IT band.  So far, its doing better with every day.

Canal Trail to BST almost to Green - 8 miles

It's getting too dark now for the first couple miles.  Time for a headlamp again.  Bummer.  Trying to navigate the canal trail in the dark was tricky (read slow).

Ricks - Steel Hollow Loop - 12

Joe and I enjoyed the awesome loop that is the Ricks, Steel Loop.  We kept it pretty chill on the bit up Ricks then started pushing the pace along the road until we hit the descent down Steel.  Joe promptly superman'ed on the trail and was pretty banged up so, nice guy that I am, I passed him and promptly sped up.  I pushed the downhill pretty hard to see how my leg would handle it.  No problem.  Might be sore tomorrow, but so far so good.

Temple to Canal Trail to BST.  Felt much better than yesterday, but still slow.  Still not used to this running everyday thing.  Haven't been very consistent this summer.  This week is much better.

Wasatch 100 course - 

My sister-in-law had a baby so a quick trip to SLC just HAD to happen (sarcasm).  We went by friday night and saw them so Saturday morning I opted out and went up into the mountains while everyone visited.  I decided to go check out the final 25 miles of the Wasatch course.  I have done miles 75 (Brighton) to 82 (Pole Line Pass Aid) before but today I wanted to see more of it.  I went on to mile 91 (Ruminant Spring) then shortcut back to mile 83 then backtracked to 75.  I was pretty happy to have a map with me cause there were lots of places to turn off.  I was especially glad they marked the spring cause my ultraspire pack was out of water and I was still 2 hours from the car.  Lifesaver.  I have to say after having run miles 75-91, that they are harder than miles 75-91 of the Bear.  "The Dive" wasn't a big deal, but "The Plunge" sucked.  I do have to say though, that the downhill from Sunset Pass to Ant Knolls is the worst though.  I would not want to do that in the dark.  It would be very slow.  That said, climbing back UP it was WAY worse.  Probably cause I was pretty calorie deficient but man it stunk.
