Fairly easy run in high altitude today. Went camping with family up to Duck Creek near Cedar City for our annual family reunion. I'm always a little leary of running up here because of the altitude, trail/dirt road running and eating like a pig with all the good junk food around. Meg and I decided to go for our usual run out of the campground, across the street and up the old dirt road toward cascade falls. I'm not a big fan of running on dirt roads but it sure beats running down the highway with all the big rigs and tourists flying by. The elevation of the campgound is just over 8500 feet and the first two miles of this run is a pretty tough climb of about 400 feet. We took it as easy as you can on a climb like this and just enjoyed the beautiful morning and cool air. Had a great time at the family reunion and even managed to catch a few fish that evening at Navajo Lake.
