Fifteen miles. Up Emigration Canyon to the top of Little Mountain and down through East Canyon to I-15.

I'm happy to be able to do this run again. It's one of my favorites although I reached the top of Little Mountain about 10 minutes slower than I do when I'm fit. I can't kid myself and say I'm close to where I was a couple years ago (and maybe it's not even possible at 48?), but I'm making progress.

I really like that your favorite way to do this run is w/ the major net elevation gain!

Who told you that you were 48?

No freakin' way you're 48. :)
