Got home from the scout campout, got called to bag sand, took my 11 year old with me and we had a good time helping out.  Really good experience for him,  Ran up below Snowbasin again tonight.  Break'en the law again, but did no harm so felt ok with the infraction.  Those baracades keep the rif raff out though, just me and the deer.  Trails pretty much dry, but very very erroded.  Gorgeous out there.  Felt pretty crumby really.  Pace was easy, effort was not.  Attribute it to inhaling enough campfire smoke to qualify me as a pack a day smoker, too many pancakes, and the dreaded grass pollen kicking up the allergies/asthma. 

9 miles or so, no watch.

Nice getting out there. I am so impressed with your ability to do Squaw like you did and then do 100 2 weeks later! I was way over my head at Squaw and I still feel like my muscles cannot hold energy/glycogen or what have you...totally was drained although soreness has gone away fine...heart rate and wind in general still not back even on short runs... you are a different breed altogether though. I think my first 34 years or so of doing nothing has something to do with it! Best of luck in the 100! Rock stars always come through.

I agree with the G! Rock Star.. Good stuff. I've been wondering about those trails.. I heard someone was mtn biking up there too - wondered if they removed the restriction...

I finally got signed up on here. Good luck at Bighorn next week, I'm sure you'll do well. My legs didn't take quite the pounding I thought they would at Squaw, so I let Bj talk me into doing a quad Malan's run yesterday. Check it out on my blog. See you on the trails.

Oreo and G, One thing at a time, still haven't done the 100, just signed up and kinda bumbling around trying to figure out how to get ready for it. But thanks for the kind word and encouragement. I think I might be in way over my head on this one.

I tried the heel inserts and they helped a lot. Thanks for the tip.
