| Ran a 5k with my kids for their elementary school. Connor PR'ed at 26:43 and Jaxine PR'ed at 38:30. Jed was doing great, but he twisted his ankle after only half a mile and walked the rest of the way. Evan ran too. It was his first 5k. He and I came in at just over an hour. | | Comments(5) |

| Wild Rose Trail. 5:30 a.m. The moon was very bright this morning, which was a good thing because my head lamp died two minutes into the run. I ran on a brand new trail today, that is an off shoot of the Wild Rose Trail. It was just cut last week. In fact it is not quite complete. There is a section about 400 yards long that still needs to be done. The city of North Salt Lake must have gotten some money from the Kern River Gas Project and I really like how they are using it. The new trail is about two miles long and is very runnable. | | Comments(3) |

| Cave Peak Trail. I headed out at 6 a.m. this morning. I forgot that it is hunting season and I didn't put on my orange vest. I usually don't see anybody on the trails in the early hours. But today I passed three different hunters. They probably didn't appreciate the fact the I was the first one to the top of the mountain and scared off all the wildlife. | | Comments(3) |

| This morning I ran Cave Peak Trail. This trail is only 1.8 miles long, but it is very challenging. It has three steep sections. Each one is longer and steeper than the one before. Those sections are considered not runnable, even by my standards. Today I decided to see how much of them I could run. I made it up the first section without stopping, but I only made it a few steps up the second one before being slowed to a power hike. The third one was also power hike. I hit the top at 35:05. That's a new PR for this route. The downhill is challenging as well. I managed to stay upright on the steep sections. Downtime was 19:20. Today is my wife due date, but no baby yet. Perhaps by the end of the day. | | Comments(7) |

| Wild Rose Trail. I did four miles this morning in the dark. My light broke just before I started. I haven't had much luck with lights lately. I scared a group of hunters who didn't see me coming. The probably thought I was nuts. Two days overdue now. Still no baby. | | Comments(2) |
