Running MilesSwimming YardsBike Miles
18.000.000.00

AM - 10 miles. River trail loop + some trails around the Ice Park.

PM - 8 miles. Dirt road along the river.

Went up to the Ironton ghost town during the middle of the day and linked together a couple trails from there, essentially doing a loop around Red Mountain #1. Probably 8-9 miles (GPS said 9+ but my feelings on GPS accuracy in canyons (or gulches in this case) are well-documented). [More Photos]

If you eat the dirt here, your anemia will be cured :-)

Looks like quite a fun trip you're on. Question though, do you really have a job or is that just for show? ;-)

Also, where is this XC race you're running on the 6th? That sounds like fun. Jason Holt is doing a XC race up in Logan this Saturday...I miss me some XC!

I'm on sabbatical for a couple weeks. Or, depending on how you look at it, this whole summer :-)

Utah is apparently hosting an XC meet before the Murray Invite (High School).

I'm not 100% sure I'm going to run, but if some good teams are going to be there and this trip doesn't leave me with completely flat legs, then I might jump in.

Yeah Kendall you need to eat a couple handfuls of the red rocks. That'll get your ferritin right up in no time!
