| | The plan was to do 50 miles on the original Zion 50 course with Kevin to ring in the new year. We started and the weather was amazing. We started at Virgin Park and then ran to the base of Gooseberry Mesa and climbed up it. The views were incredible. We made it to the top and cruised around on the rim of Gooseberry. I forgot how tricky it is to get into a rhythm of any kind on this section. Tons of rock and tight turns. Great for mountain biking though from what I hear. We knew were we close to the Gooseberry Mesa Trailhead but somehow missed the turn and ended up running 7 extra miles on top of the mesa. No bueno. Got to the first stop and drank plenty of fluids and ate some food. It was welcome to get to this point. I was feeling pretty good but Kevin's stomach was acting up. We made it up to Highway 59 and Kevin decided to call it quits. He said I should just keep going and he would ride in the car. I climbed up to Little Creek Mesa and realized that Kevin wasn't doing great so I decided to stop at 35 miles so he could go home and get better. I was a little bummed to not get 50 miles in for the day but 35 is still pretty good.
Happy 2021 to everyone!

7 more miles total this evening. I ran over to my parent's house and got a hair cut and then ran back home. It was warm on the way over because I had more hair and colder on the back due to less hair.

| | Ran in beautiful Big Bear Lake this morning. Started on the Alpine Pedal Path and ran to Fawnskin and flipped around at Windy Point. Unbelievably gorgeous. 6700 feet elevation and perfect temps so I really enjoyed the morning. Shorts weather all morning. 11 miles at 7:06/mile. I can't believe I haven't visited here before. I didn't see Meb or Ryan but it was cool knowing they probably ran on the same trails and roads at some point.

| | 16 total miles this morning with Kevin. It rained last night so the smells were great this morning. Ideal running conditions. We started at his house and then ran out toward Washington Fields. We went up the Washington Dam Road and then caught Hell Hole and came back down the trail. Solid loop and great conversation. Fun stuff. 7:19/mile overall.
I went out with my Dad and watched some alumni race in college cross country meet at Sand Hollow Golf Course. Lots of fun to see them race so well.
