A place to read about my Adventures with My Sweet Wife, "My Three Son's" and my Mountian Running Adventures.
About Me
- mountainrunnermike
- I am a Husband to my beautiful sweet wife Vickie, and a Father to "My Three Sons" Cotton, Tristan, and Justus. One of my greatest strengths is running long distances. I am not fast, but I can go forever. My favorite surfaces are high incline altitudes loaded with rocks, ruts, scree. I have completed 7 Squaw Peak 50 miler ultramarathons, 2 Wasatch 100 ultramarathons, 1 Katcina Mosa 100k, one Ten Peaks Utah ultra of 32 miles and one Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon, and countless 8 hour training runs through the Wasatch Mountains. I did one road marathon and swore to never do one again. If it is not on dirt I don't touch it. I prefer snowshoeing in the winter for conditioning and will post some great pictures of the Wasatch mountains covered in snow this winter.

Friday Morning in the Mountains
I left early Friday morning to get in three hours before work. I wanted to wash away the last time I went up Rock Canyon, which was the last leg of the Squaw Peak 50. Where I was dehydrated, dizzy and sick. I was heading to the back of Lions head and the base of Provo Peak.
This time of the year the Pine trees and letting the scent go. Nothing like the fresh pine smell as soon as the snow melts. I still crossed several snow patches on the trail and one very large avalanche.
Here are some shots for you.
