I ran with the Dirt Tours with the Front run club tonight. We ran up City Creek Canyon. I did a mile warmup before going with the group. We ran the trail that parallels the road up the canyon. The trail is 3 miles long, we did an out an back for 6 miles total. The trail was very green today. Lot of new growth and vegetation. On the back way down Nate took off really fast. I decided to open it up a bit and see how fast I could run the downhill without my knees hurting. I caught up with Nate once, but he ended up beating me down. I was surprised by how fast I was able to come down. My average pace for the downhill was 7:30 per mile. The trail is mile 13 thru 16 of the Wahsatch Steeplechase which I am running next Saturday. Hopefully I will be able to run it as fast as I did today after running 13 miles.
