Corner Canyon. Nice to get out and shake out the cob webs from a long weekend. Little bit of rain but beautiful afternoon.

7 miles on the treadmill, intervals.

1.5 miles WU, 6 x .50 mile repeats with .25 walk in-between. Starting at 10.1 graduating to 10.6 last .5 mile raising speed to 13.3. Had no idea that treadmills went past 12mph.

Late miles around the house. Love my new shoes (clearance sale on Pure Flow). Shoes felt like slippers--light weight, 4mm drop. Can really feel the road. Fast pace tonight, intentionally pulling back with race tomorrow evening. Felt really great. Light, fast and quick turn-over. Loved the shoes...we'll see if i continue to like them.

Run on Trails--Corner Canyon Race Series #3

1 mile warm-up, 7.8 race course, 1,300 ft elevation gain.

#3 in the series. All the usual suspects showed up tonight. Taha, Mark (Hammond), although still missing Toby and Toly took the night off. Bigger group this evening with once again 3-4 really fast guys. Mark Hammond torched us all taking the win. My favorite CC course.

Start: Parking lot -- up Lower Corner Canyon Tr. -- right on Fire Road -- left up Clark's Tr. -- right on Ann's Tr. -- right down Potato Hill Tr. -- merge onto Bonneville Shoreline Tr. -- left onto Creek View Tr. -- down to Finish.

Steady 3+ mile climb to Ann's then scorching downhill. Just missed the downhill CR in a couple of sections by Toby (he's untouchable). Lots of bikes on the trail who refused to share (or yield) the trail. Several scrambles up the side of the hill and back on the trail at a < 6mm pace. I'm all about sharing so bikes don't have to stop but it when they hold their course expecting ME to yeild to them--gets me works up. Ran with the Pure Connects (min road shoe) tonight and absolutely loved them. Perfect trail for a very minimal shoe. 

Another great night with a fun group.

Battle Creek->Grove Creek Loop (CR Grove Creek downhill).

I'll write later about this one...big deal for me.

Grandeur fun run double (west face, down to pipeline, up and over on some unknown trail, back to car and repeat). Great day until Francesco got sick...slow, slow, slow 2nd loop.
