Beautiful trail run in the Crimson Trail up to the Wall of China in Logan Canyon.  I've had two weeks off with the kids and tonight is the first night back to work so July is now going to be a bit crazy.  I do have work overnights though in Salt Lake in the week ends with circuit races so at least I will get a few of those in.

Just gonna call this the Chicago mini tour run.  Hot, humid, and yelled at by at least three mini gangs.

Long run on the LA beaches from Huntington up Marina del Ray to Venice and back.  Actually in the low 70s today and breezy.  Awesome.  7:15 average pace.

Standard 10 easy run today.  Finally getting back into Utah today after six days on the road.  But I just gotta head up Cottonwood Canyon for a reunion campout and crawl up early for another race.

6 with my sisters in Big Cottonwood Canyon from Spruces campground.

Pretty tired this morning for this race after a great week of training and a long campout with family but I don't think it slowed down my race.  Pretty much on pace for what I'm running this summer.  Finally feeling a little stride coming back and I haven't broke down with the increase in training.  Course it would be good to keep up with guys on the circuit again.  :-)

 Walter ran an awesome Master race, really in the groove this year.  Rob blew by me about 2.7 which was fairly rude.

 After heading back up to the canyon for the rest of the reunion I went down and ran the Mt Olympus Trail up to the peak.  No idea this trail was so brutal.  Almost a 5,000 foot gain in 3.5 miles.  Started at just over 100  degrees at the trailhead.  Reminded me in a lot of ways of the R2R up the south rim.  Awesome trail.
