8.25 miles around Sugar House. Had to remind myself that, even though it's summer and I have more time, not every run needs to be EPIC.

PM: 4 miles treadmilling at the gym.

I was reading the trip report last week of the first three guys who attempted a trail R2R2R in the Grand Canyon with the Colorado River swim. One guy wouldn't do it when the reached the river. His reason? He said he was "too old to Epic".

The Colorado is a pretty unpredictable river. I would wait on one bank until one guy made it across before I went.
