Today I ran from my house up the the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (the North Salt Lake side). Then I ran on the trail up to the lowest radio tower. Then I ran back home over the same route. The trail was good today. It was muddy in spots with a few stretches of snow.

You're amazing but I guess you already know that.

Great run Matt. Does Susie let you in the house when you come home all muddy?

I'm so jealous you got on a trail. I have plans for saturday to hit either the lower part of the trail on Olympus or the west ridge of Grandeur. All will depend on conditions.

Nice job today.

Kathie - I wipe my feet off before I come in ;)

Jun - If the weather stays the same as it has been those trails should be pretty good Saturday.

So much for the weather staying good.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to try and run the mud-fest anyway.
