Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Today was a great success for my running career. Not because of the run, but because I made it back on Burt's Favorite Blogs list.

Thanks Burt.

Wild Rose Trail. Quick little run with lots of vert. I will have to check, but I think there is 1500 ft vert gain in the first mile and a half.

I ran the Mueller Park Trail for the second Saturday in a row, but this time I saw two moose. The first one surprised me. I was on the switchbacks only a half mile up the trail. I usually don't see moose down that low. It was a young bull. The second one was just before Elephant Rock. It was a calf. I was hoping it mother wasn't nearby. Luckily I never saw it parents.

The trail was nice today. The last mile still has lots of snow. The are stretches of clear trail followed by snow to hike through, then another good stretch. I made it up in 52 minutes, 3 minutes faster than last week. On the way down, after I was past most of the snow, I opened things up a bit. It felt great and my mile 6 time was 7:10. The down time was 33 minutes, 9 minutes faster than last week.
