Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Headed back to the Sawmill Trail, aka trail of the skunk, for a redo after the stinky incident with the dog last Thursday.  My only goal on the way up was to keep "running" I could have probably powered hiked faster in some places but kept running until I hit around 3 miles.  About 2300' of climbing in those miles on a rocky trail.  Saw a baby bunny siting in the trail on the way up, just say there as I stood over it, probably blinded by my head light.  Sat down for about five minutes at the top and enjoyed the view.  Saw around 80 elk and quite a few deer.  

My back was a bit tight and my stomach a little upset on the way down so I just took my time.  No skunk sightings this time and my dog made it home nice and clean.  I think I will try to get two serious trail climbs a week another faster/flatter trail run, a longer  termpoish road run, then a weekend long run hopefully at elevation for training..  It should get my legs prepared for the Bryce 50 if I sign up.

Need to work on my hill running and power and keep my speed up.  Weight was down to 154 after my run this morning.  I lose more when I run less due to not needing as much calories. Should be pretty light I it all goes well.

Day 93: My oldest son, Spencer, said he would go trail running with me this morning.  We went to some hills south of town where there is a lot of deer and elk.  Saw about 30 elk on a hillside and hiked up behind them then looped around to where they were.  Didn't find any elk antlers but he found a deer antler which made him happy.  About 870' of climbing.  It was great to share the trails/hills with my little guy.

Met up with some wranglers and headed from grove creek to G mountain, went straight up the mountain from the G and bushwacked to the Timpanokee road then to AF canyon where Ben Light and Nate Younger and I kept going to summit Mt. Mohaganee.  Then back down and to the trail down Grove back to the car.  Only had a half of granola bar at the top of the mountain.  Felt great to be in the mountains again with old friends.
