AM- Paul proposed running the river trail this morning, so we met for a very relaxing run.  10 miles at 8 min pace with about 930 ft climbing (according the Sporttracks), while discussing all kinds of topics.  Another enjoyable run with Paul, possibly my last.  I'll miss all the Utah trail runs with all my friends, but I'm trying to make the most of them this month.

PM- Trail run with Cody.  We drove up to Stump Hollow.  If this trail were 15 min closer to Logan, I would run it all the time (assuming I weren't leaving).  It starts off flat, then climbs 1400 ft in 3 miles (all of it smooth and runnable), then has some rolling hills on top again at 8400 ft.  We turned around just past the end of the singletrack at 5.5 miles.  The downhill is spectacular.  For about a 2-3 mile stretch, this trail is the best I have ever run on.  Soft, dark brown, pine-needle covered dirt, minimal camber, almost no rocks or roots, only a few switchbacks- it truly is ideal.  We did 6:30-7 min pace on tired legs without even trying.  Great, great downhill trail.  It started pouring rain just as we finished- good timing.  Great run.  11 miles with 2000' climbing (exactly) at 8:50 pace.  If they have trails half this good in SC, I'll love it.

Paul running so fast he is blurry... 

 

Cody is behind this tree going... oh, never mind, you don't want to know.

It sure sounds like it. Once again, good luck to you and your family.
