AM - 10 miles w/ Andrea. Similar to yesterday... another big loop around the park - Pyramid + Big Chief + Crossroads + Prickly Pear + Raven Roll. 

PM - Mountain biking on the trails just off Hwy 313 - Ramblin and Rocky Tops. This loop was a blue-black, which is about the top end of my mountain biking ability. Type 1.5 fun.

We had a weekend that exceeded expectations at Dead Horse Point State Park. The new yurts are downright luxurious and perfectly situated at a junction along the Intrepid trail system. The "bike" trails in the park are probably our (new) favorites for running in the entire Moab area. It's all flowy singletrack (mostly dirt with slickrock mixed in) and every trail is well-defined and runnable. You can do loops from 3 to 14+ miles. Fantastic views up along the plateau towards Arches, Canyonlands, etc. I think we will be repeating this trip annually.

I'll post a few more photos in a couple days. I have some better ones.

AM - 4 miles.

Bike commute (half). New bike stolen. This is not a good trend (two bikes jacked in four weeks). But in the grand scheme of things, hardly the end of the world. I can't really get mad about anything right now...

The promised "better" picture from last weekend... and the words that go along with it.

AM - 4 miles.

PM - 4 miles. Did a hard 2-mile at SHP in 10:33 (5:15, 5:18, NE corner start). I've been doing good with 5 minutes of fast running, but doubling that up was tough!

AM - 14 miles. Ran w/ Rob and his team at Jeremy Ranch - out to Mormon Flats and then mixed it up by doing 6 miles on the Mormon Pony Trail in the middle. Nice morning. We saw a moose family!

PM - 6 miles.

Took the longer way home from Park City via BCC and wandered around Empire Pass for a while to soak in some sunshine / fall colors...
