Sunday Run
Yesterday evening we did another loop run in the valley. We started at Elk Creek and went up and over Chainsaw, then along Creekside to the Leland road. Up that, then up Fools Creek to Kings Creek. Along that and back to the Leland road and on that until Sunken Bridges and then down. A nice run on excellent trails and forest roads for a total of around 13+ miles (I give an extra because of mapping errors). I did it in 1:58 this time. A touch tired in the legs from the previous hill climb and then a biking day (which I don't do, so it hit my quads).
They are logging in the Elk Creek drainage (according to the FS map, only on Elk Creek/D2, but they have closed the entire drainage). You can hit the trails on the weekends or late in the day, but otherwise they are "closed". I have no idea for how long, nor why they need to close the entire drainage? Call the Granby Ranger district for info.
Thinking of doing Sage Burner this weekend...

Long Training Run
Long Training Run
Did a longer training run today to see how things would go. Felt good most of the way, no walking on the hills and kept up a good pace for most of the flats and downs. Had three drop bags for water and fuel: one at the end of Creekside, one at the turn onto Kings Creek, and one at the top of Leland near Zoom. Seemed to work out well. Add two miles to what the map says due to mapping errors. Overall, not a bad ~23 miles run at 9,000+. Did it in 4:02 today.

Monday Run
Monday Run
Another great loop run in the Fraser Valley! This run has three climbs and three descents, with some good flats in between. Took a slightly slower pace then yesterday's run, but still managed to put in the same time with slightly more distance. (???) Park at Deadhorse, run up Old Byers, then jump on the Byers road to St. Louis, down that to King Creek, up King Creek (second climb and third climb) to Fools Creek, then down that and back around to the trailhead. You can stay on King Creek to the waterboard road and then down, which adds 1.5 miles. Legs are feeling good, kept a solid pace on all hills and flats. Took 1:22 on this run.
