MY BARF IS BACK!

My BARF is back!  Katherine was gone all summer and I was so sad and lonely!  We didn't wait long for an adventure in the mountains!  White Pine Lake was calling our names.  So of course, we went!  Man oh man, I missed this girl!!!

 I got some new endurance fuel to try.  The jury is still out.  I'll have to try again on a longer run!

 A marmot!

 So happy this girl is back!!!

 Hey, we got high!

And because we are just that goofy!

We went about 9 miles in just under three hours.  It was nothing if it wasn't fun!

I Did it Again

Three more pain free miles! I love this stuff!

Daily Mile

My son used to run with me quite a bit.  Then he quit.  Cold turkey.  I ask him to go with me often, and the answer is always the same, "No!"  But he's been talking about the upcoming soccer season and wanting to run, so I was thrilled when he said he wanted to go with me on Wednesday!  We did two miles together, then I left him at the house and did a bit more on my own and then did one last half mile with both my girls on their bikes.  I love when my kids want to be involved with my running!  I hope they each find the thing they love as much as I love to run!

My sweet "little" boy!

Still loving these Altras!

Trail Run Thursday

Yesterday was so glorious that I ran trails in my dreams last night a woke up thinking of going back to the same spot tomorrow!  I headed down to Corner Canyon (a last minute decision) and decided to just go on out Ann's for a bit.  But, I got to a fork in the road and decided to continue on BST, which I had only done one other time.  And that time I was in a world of hurt.  That run sucked, therefore, in my mind that section of trail sucked.  It didn't.  Plus, I went the correct way and found even more of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail that I had only seen on a map!  New trail!  Outstanding.  I made the decision to let my five mile run be a "run until you have to turn around because you have kids to pick up from school."  I found yet another trail I'd never been on, and was really enjoying the day.  I wasn't super speedy, but I was enjoying poking along seeing new sights and stopping for lots of photos.  Like I said, a glorious day!

Bonneville Shoreline Trail heading south from Coyote Hollow Trailhead. 

Time to switch things up! BST here I come!

Deer or Moose?

Heading up to South Mountain Overlook (also a new to me, very short, section of trail)

The view from South Mountain Overlook

After crossing a road, I ended up here.  New (to me) section of BST!  WOO HOO!

Weeee!  This is grand!

And what is this!?  I think that will take me back up to Ann's trail!

But, I decided on Oak Hollow...

Still loving the new vest!

Look what I found!  TRAILS!

Can you guess where I'm heading to run tomorrow?
