Comments:
Super exciting day. Worked 4:30a to 10a ... Hung out with Sara and the fam ... Packed up, then headed up to Rob Flat around 4:45pm. My goodness, this drive/routine used to be so second-nature to get out to these trails. It was like reconnecting with an old friend (In more ways than one I suppose!). Got to RF and shoot, more snow than I imagined! Oh well, suited up, and headed for Little Bald. Steeple-chase-like with route-finding. Had to hurdle/route-find through quite a bit of snow, but the good thing about having this course memorized is that I was always headed in the right direction even if I couldn't fully see the trail. Had a great ascent and even better desecnt. Thought back to '13 when Joe and I did camp and how money this descent is (was?). Thought about running with Paul Terranova and while he was fit at the time - we were wayyyyy fitter than him, yet he top-ten'd! Gosh that should have been us. Can't dwell on the past. I really believe there are better days ahead.

Got back to see Joe and Callie parked on the side of Soda Springs Rd. Once we eventually found a spot to park/camp, all was good that night. Reminded me of the old days. Not a plan/care in the world, just hanging out - talking about running and all-things WS and just enjoying good company! Our best days are yet ahead:)
