I did an encore of the Bryce Canyon Rim Trail this morning from Fairyland Point to Bryce Point and backwhich is exactly 11 miles plus a little extra in the parking lot. 1:41 with the last mile in 7:23. Slowest mile was 10:01.

Definitely a bucket list run. I started around 7 am and saw maybe ten people the whole way on a perfect morning.

PM: 3 mile walk with Ann. I'm a bit sore.

That run is definitely worth a repeat.

Sounds like a nice way to celebrate tax day.

The restaurant I was thinking of is Foster's Family Steak House. It was the only close alternative to the lousy and overpriced restaurant at Ruby's Inn.

We ate there twice Fritz. Good pie!

Sounds like a run in paradise!

It was great Matt - as opposed to your run yesterday. So sorry about that!
