Ran 6 miles with the boys this morning over towards Jake Powell's house in Little Valley. 

Added a little more looking at a sweet dirt loop to do repeats on by Hidden Valley.

Ran 6.5 miles this morning with the girls. We did a warm up to The Spectrum and then did 4x2:00min. dirt repeats by Hidden Valley. Should have made them a little longer for the girls but did not want to over do it with them. Kids club after wards. 

6 more miles in the afternoon in Ivins. Not as hot this afternoon.

Was supposed to run with the Circle this morning but was up until after 2am getting stuff ready for camp. Sorry guys! 

First day of camp up in Brian Head. We set up camp this morning and then went for a good run. I went with the boys for 7 miles. We started at the Lodge and then went out on the Sugar Loaf Mtn. trail. It was relatively "flat" but a solid push for the boys. Nothing like running at 10,000+ ft. to open up the lungs.

I could tell the kids were a little zapped from the elevation so we drove up the main road 3 miles and had the kids run back down to the cabin. They thoroughly enjoyed it. I guess I enjoyed it too.

Woke up early this morning and ran up to Brian Head Peak (11,307 feet). It was absolutely gorgeous up at the top. Ran into a herd of sheep and also a giant buck deer. After the 6 mile run I thought, "I need to come up to Brian Head more often."

We shuttled over to Panguitch Lake and ran a touch over 6 miles. It was a little overcast so it made for an enjoyable run. Glad we made the trip over. It was about 55 degrees for the run!

Had a fun relay race tonight in downtown Brian Head. I found a half mile loop and the teams used sticks as batons. I covered for two teams since they were uneven. I ran just over 3 miles. Solid day.

Got up early again and did another 6 mile run around Brian Head. I explored some trails which was kind of fun. Another cool morning temperature wise.

Ran a good 7 miles this morning with the boys. We went down on the flat section just below the cabin. Their are no flat runs in Brian Head but this was pretty close. Kept the pace solid and enjoyed running by everyone's camp who were making bacon. The boys wanted to stop and ask for some every time.

Glad to have a solid camp in this year. I wanted to go another day or two but it did not work out this year. I am very excited to see what the team does this year. I like the team goals and traditions they set for the year.

5 miles around the high school waiting for the kids to show up.

7 more miles with the team from the DC and doing the trail backwards. A little on the muggy side this morning. Yuck. 

Decent week. I plan on getting at least 70 miles a week. School is really starting to get busy. I hope to just keep getting in the miles.
