Another wonderful run around the Bear Lake Area. Found a 12-mile loop that took me through Round Valley and then a few miles along the Bear Lake shoreline. It's a beautiful place. I think I saw more tractors on the road than cars.

Today was our last day at Bear Lake. We had to be out by 10am and byt the time i got the car loaded up, it was 9:30. So I decided to run from the lodge in Laketown to the the climbing wall in "downtown" Garden City were I would meet my wife and kids and from there head to Provo for the rest of the week. More than any other run so far, I felt the altitude on this one even running at easy pace. The elevation is 6,000 and the 1,500 foot difference between the Salt Lake/Provo area and the Bear Lake area is substantial.

Relatively easy 10 miles on the Provo River trail. I got a late start (8:30) so the temperature was already well into the 70s. Went up to mile marker 13 and then turned around. It's a great trail although I don't think I have ever run in a place with more mile markers painted onto the cement. Even Central Park has less.

Down in Spanish Fork visiting my sister. Went for just six miles today to make sure i don't ramp up too quickly from a fairly light base the last three weeks.

Nice morning run from Timp View HS down to the south end of BYU campus, back up University Ave to Riverwoods and back to the HS. Beautiful weather but the afternoons are just scorching so I've been running early.

Ran from my sister in laws house on Foothill Drive above Timpview HS down to the Provo River Trail. Lost 550 feet in elevation. Ran to the 4M marker on the trail and turned around. Goal was to climb back up the hills at sub 7:00 which I managed without a crazy amount of effort.

\A little muggy this morning, particularly by Utah standards. Headed back to Seattle tomorrow. Looking forward to the oxygen.
