A few short hikes and runs.

I took my 12 year old niece out for a trail run. She is getting into cross country and it was a lot of fun to give her a taste of the Wasatch dirt. We took the Buffalo Peak Trail from the Little Rock Canyon overlook, up to the peak, and then looped down FS 27 back to the car.

Then, I took my sister-in-law (a 50k-er like myself) on the Timpooneke Trail. She has in injured quad so we just went up to the 2 mile meadow.

Then, I took the Mrs. up the same trail as well. She had been up to Scout Falls (about 1.5 miles up) with our kids before. She tested out her new Altra Lone Peaks and loved them. It was so gorgeous up there.

Trying to put in some easy miles, keep fit, but not aggravate my sore injured hip and foot/ankle. Varied success. A couple of these felt great, a couple hurt. The last, the full Grove-Battle Creeks loop was magnificent and actually felt pretty good during and after. Thankfully, I haven’t turned my ankle any more. Hopefully things are on the mend.
