Got out with Jun and Scott for a night run. We started just after 9pm on the Coyote Hollow trailhead in Draper and did a fanstatic loop, which included a run to the top of View Benchmark and a descent on the Eagle Crest trail, which I've never run on before. I forget how much fun it is running with people, and especially running at night.
Scott's headlamp crapped out on the way down... Actually, it was never that bright to begin with. I ended up tailing him close on the way down so he had a little bit of light and didn't fall on his face. We made it out successfully... No falls!
My fitness sucks right now. I was huffing and puffing on the way up to VB and actually ended up hiking two of the steeper sections. I always run every step of that trail so I was a little bummed. I realize that it'll take a few weeks to get things back in order. After all, I've basically been injured since January, with a few runs here and there in between. Patience is key, which unfortunately - when it comes to running - I lack almost entirely.
Looks like we're gonna start doing these night runs once a week or so. Super stoked on that! |
