Lovely late afternoon run around Truckee on the cross country trails with cwalker. Really nice to have some company and great to catch up with Carol, who is fitter than she realises. I am also now feeling the effects of the altitude!

A short one along the edge of Mammoth Lakes village. Short because it was actually snowing when I was running (which was a bit of a shock to the system) and also because I remembered after a couple of minutes that there could be bears around, which scared me a bit. So stayed close to the village, although I don't think the presence of houses deters bears.

Slacked off training today as we were in Death Valley and it was a bit warm really (36degrees - just a normal melbourne summer )

We finally made it to zion national park after a false start yesterday (two poorly boys heading to the GP took longer than we thought). Left Rob and Fin at emerald pools, and ran along to the Grotto then up towards Angels Landing. Didn't think I had enough time to do the whole thing, but the non scrambling part was shorter than I thought. Headed all the way up for some fantastic views - busy on the chains section but good fun. Time doesn't include quite a few photo stops. Got the bus back from the Grotto and had a good race with another girl who was also running on the way down. Glad we didn't try taking fin up there, don't think it would have been much fun carrying him.
