Maybe I'll Blog, Maybe I Won't

Epic trail run with Cody.  3:30 came way too early.  Due to my mistake in reading my work schedule, we planned to run High Creek, leaving at 5:30 so I could be back for work by noon, but since I actually had to work at 10, we decided that getting up at 3:30 and starting the run at 4:30 was the best option.  The stars were out and it was very dark at the start of the run...and it was still dark an hour into the run when we missed a critical fork in the trail.  We ended up going up a totally wrong canyon, bushwhacking along deer trails and through dense brush for 3 miles, finally hiking to the top of a huge ridge when it got light and realizing that we were at least 2 miles off course.  We continued bushwhacking back down the mountain, back to the last discernable trail by a beautiful waterfall, and then back down to the junction where we missed the turn.  By now we were very limited on time, so we went up the right trail for half an hour and then ran back to the car, making really good time.  It was a fun trail, and I want to do it again before snow flies.  All in all, getting "lost" aside, it was a great run and I've got a few nice scratches on my legs to show for it.  Didn't make it out the door with my Garmin, so no info on time or pace, but I figure I was doing good if that's the only thing I forgot at 4 AM.
