My Favorite BoSho Run

If you read my blog, you probably know that the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is my favorite run.  I have done this run a few times a month for about two years now.  I cannot get enough of it!  

I finally decided to document these 4.7 miles so I can remember it.  Here we go!

I start off with a slow run from my parking lot up to the Bakery.  It's a slight incline, so I use it as a warm-up to get my legs going.  

Heading down the other side of the complex towards Sunnyside.  I have run around this circle countless times, and I will miss it!!

I ALWAYS have to stand here and wait at the intersection of Sunnyside and Foothill and stare at that hill looming ahead!

I've made it up to the zoo.  It's a long, gradual hill that kills me!  Almost to the trailhead!

Made it!

What a beautiful morning for a trail run!  This is when the fun begins!

THIS HILL.  It's only a tenth of a mile long, but it's STEEP, and I always run up it, but I usually have to stop at the top to recover.  Feel the burn!

View from the top.

And....we keep going UP!

And up and UP!  This beast of a hill used to scare me, but now I SPRINT up it!

Phew!  Made it.  The trail still has some rolling hills, but overall, the worst is behind me.

How can I NOT smile when I'm spending time in nature like this?  I am so blessed. And so sweaty.

After another mile of trails, we reach the Museum.....and the WATER!

The trail then heads to Red Butte Gardens, and this is where I usually exit to head home.

Tired!  And looking stunning, no?  Meh.

Thanks for a great morning, BoSho!  I'll see you SOON!

I head through campus to get home.

Oh Utah.  You are beautiful.

I turn onto Wakara Way, which is an awesome DOWNhill road that takes me home.

I always try my best to run this last half mile as FAST as I can.  I'm starting to see progress!!

Home Sweet Home.  For two more weeks, anyway.

Thanks for joining me!  If you ever want to ACTUALLY join me, I'd LOVE the company!  :)
