Ran on the bonneville shoreline trail from orem soccer park about a mile and a half past grove canyon.  Love the new comfort ride of the cascadia 6's.    No hot spots, no discomfort.  May be the most comfortable shoes I own.  Forgot the garmin this morning.  May be the second time ever I have forgotten.  But at least remembered the gps on my phone, which sometimes tracks up to a half  mile short.  But I think compared to Nick's garmin where we turned around, should have been 15, which the phone said when I got back to the car.  This is the most I have ever run in a week, following a week which I ran the most miles ever.  Slightly twisted both ankles this morning on the chewed up trail.  Horses and mountain bikes when the trail is muddy really makes it dangerous on the ankles.  Just have to go slower and pay much more attention I guess.

I was out there this morning too. Looks like we must have missed each other. Anf you're right--that trail was really chewed up today.

Great job on the miles this week. I should follow your example :)

Thanks. I am still so curious how much I can keep pushing before something goes wrong. So far so good. I actually wondered if that was you that passed me and asked which way to dry canyon. You know how different people look when you have only seen them once.
