I don&#8217;t run many places where you can see the next 8 miles of trail all laid out ahead of you. Coming down on the bone road either going to or from Elephant Head, you can see a LOT of trail ahead. It is a deceptively big place. The run was grand, except for the 2nd 8 miles when my IT band on the right knee flared something fierce again. The beauty of the place, and the glory of being (somewhat) out of the inversion smog made it all worth it though.<\/p>\n<p>I clocked a 1\/2 marathon and 20k PR as well.<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/242305697\/embed\/0ccd8ad1e4b731129fced40c3969dff1dd704302\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_890\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-890\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-890 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buffalo 25k Course - Antelope Island (3)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?resize=676%2C507&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-3.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glowing Sunrise, Sideways Light<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-891\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-891 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5-1024x768.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buffalo 25k Course - Antelope Island (5)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?resize=676%2C507&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buffalo-25k-Course-Antelope-Island-5.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Split Rock Bay (looking north) and Elephant Head in Black\/White<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; After a failed attempt a couple weeks ago to run the Buffalo 25k course out on Antelope Island, I tackled it again.
