Mueller Park Trail. I got a new pair of shoes. They are Hi-Tec Berkley's. They felt great out on the trail this morning. The weather is getting colder, but the temps are perfect right now. 

Some thoughts on running shoes. Running shoes are and I am cheap. I saw lot's of runner's at the Wasatch 100 wearing Hokas. They are supposed to be a great trail shoe, but come with a price tag of $175. The shoes I just bought cost $28. I think I would be better off with 7 pairs of Hi-Tec's than one pair of Hokas.

Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I was having a hard time getting going this morning. Just couldn't find any motivation. Then a biker passed me on the trail. It's kind of strange but that got me going. I chased him over the next two hills. I didn't ever catch but had motivation again. Turned out to be a decent run.
