Some days you run and some days you really run. Today was a great running day. Last week I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night for a week. Four redeye flights and getting the kids to girls camp. Crazy week. But yesterday I got 8 hours and slept over 9 today and what a difference. Awesome trail run in Chicago on the Des Plaines River Trail in the morning and Logan River Trail in the afternoon.

A very difficult trail today, Rattlesnake all the way up to Box Elder Cone at 9,600. One of the steepest in Utah climbing 5,000 feet. Mandi and I ran it pretty hard and it's always amazing how much harder you run when you are with a fast woman. :-)

Short trail/climbing run from Willard Basin to Box Elder Peak, 9,800 feet. Surprised a moma goat and kid, and a bighorn. The rarest thing to see on this range.

I drove with a friend to Jackson last night for what I hoped was an early run up the Grand Teton. Snow conditions were terrible and generally unsafe on all the north facing slopes above 11,000 feet so we cancelled and I drove back for this consolation run.
