Five miles around the "Fairyland" loop and Rim Trail at Bryce. The Fairyland trail is a more manly trail run than the name implies.

I was going to do more but I was way over dressed and was a miserable, soaking wet mess on the more strenuous climbs. I'll go back later and get some miles in on the Rim Trail.

PM: Twelve miles on the Bryce Canyon Rim Trail. Pretty empty trail except for the areas around the parking lots and view points.

Ann revealed to me at dinner tonight that she had a crush on Faron Young as a child. Seriously, just google the name to get a sense of how much she rocked in the seventies.

I went out there last fall and ran around. Loved it! Check out the under the rim trail (or below the rim, can't recall which its called). Its awesome. The Rim Trail is fun since the views are sweet and its super easy.

I remember enjoying the fairyland trail. Beautiful place to run.

Great day Rob! Two runs I vividly remember. Andrea and I did the Fairyland trail once before we were in shape... that hill coming out of the canyon hurt!

You're at the top of the mileage board by 7 miles!

See what I can do when I don't have to work Blake?
