I would like to do this once a week or so – waking up around 5:00 and getting in a good trail run before work. This morning I drove down to City Creek, parked at the Morris Reservoir, and ran the Avenue Twins.\u00a0 I ran part of the BST up to the back ridge that overlooks City Creek to the north, and then followed that ridge around, East, and up to both of the Avenue Twin Peaks.<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful morning.<\/p>\n

From the southern Twin Peak, I bushwhacked straight down south to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.\u00a0 There appeared to be remnants of trails going down, and it got me back on the BST fast. I think took the BST NW back to the north ridge, ran that NW to the overlook into City Creek Canyon where it ends, and then skidded down a small trail to the trail that hook up with Morris Creek. My left IT band was hurting by the end, but more distressing was that about 1\/2way through, a large knot\/muscle spasm developed in my left lower back. Incredibly painful throughout the day.<\/p>\n
