AM- Woke up early and drove with Joe all the way to Beaver Mountain... just to turn around and come home. We planned to run Stump Hollow, but a major thunderstorm was raging overhead. I'm not a fan of running on top of mountains with lightning nearby. We drove down the canyon, hoping Jardine or even the River Trail would be clear, but no luck. So I went home and slept for 2 more hours. It may be the first time I actually drove 1.5 hours without running, but that's life. A bit bummed I couldn't run the wonderful Stump one more time. PM- Wow. How to summarize the run this evening?!? Epic. Crazy. Long. Beautiful. Slow. Cody and I ran the Wellsvilles from Deep Canyon to Rattlesnake Canyon. The hardest "short" run of my life. Started at 5:30 pm, finished 1 hour after sunset (and Cody didn't have a light). A 3.5 hour run should count for more than 13 miles!!! I think a few numbers will summarize: 13 miles, 5500 ft climb, 5500 ft descend = 850 ft elevation change per mile. 3 hr 30 min = 16:34 min/mile average. Yes, the slowest run of my life. Fastest mile = 10:04, slowest = 23:37 (pretty fast, actually, supposing I was climbing an off-trail ridge). 3000 ft climbing in the first 3 miles. 3500 ft descending in the last 3 miles. Nutso steep and overgrown. Amazing views. I'll summarize the rest with pictures. Very green at the start. Very green. Cody looking at the ridge we will run Hey, look, a wildfire Overlooking Cache Valley "Wait, we have to climb that ridge to get to Wellsville Cone?!?" Yes, the sun is setting, and these two numbnuts still have to run 4.5 miles and 4000 ft down. It will take them 70 min. Not the brightest crayons in the box. Let's play a game. It's called "Where is the trail?" With the similar game, "Let's see how much skin we can take off Jon's and Cody's legs while running through undergrowth!" I see it! Cody found it! He is the blue dot, looking over the amazing Sardine Canyon. (And yes, that is the trail between him and I. Do you see it?) Yes, steep. And rocky.
