Jupiter Peak Steeplechase
On Saturday, August 9th, I ran in the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase again (I do it every year) and was thinking it was going to be a bad day because I arrived just as the gun was going to go off. Not a problem normally, but I hadn’t registered yet. So I started running and ran without a number. I am proud to say I shaved off 20 minutes from last year. 3:18.02. OK, I didn’t win it but I did in my mind. The run has a 3,000 foot elevation gain and is a 16 mile loop. I am not only got getting older, I am getting stronger and better. Must have something to do with the healthy
Utah mountain air. Couldn’t have been due to the great night’s sleep I had at La Vista because I had one equal to that last year sleeping at Chez Louisa. Hmm. Could it have been that it was noticeably cooler? Nah. Not 10 minutes after I got back and showered did it start pouring rain. We haven’t hadrain for over a month. We really need this moisture. Think I will sit and relax in the beautiful living room and watch it rain onMountMillicent, one ofBrightonMountain’s most breathtaking views, knit a few rows, and take a nap.
