Went up to Snowbird with my brother, who I just picked up from the airport. Watched Sage, Anton, and a few other guys finish Speedgoat, and then went for a run. Started at Alta (lower Albion parking lot, above the Collins area), ran on the trail up to Alf's, then took the winding trail on the East side of the main ridge, up to Cecret Area, up to the top of Collins, then over Germania, down into Mineral Basin, up to the Peruvian Tunnel, through the tunnel, and up to Hidden Peak. We took the tram down (Brennan was hating the altitude at this point and I don't trust my hip for downhills as much as uphills), and then I jogged up to my car at Alta to bring it back down. 7.9x miles total, well over 3k' gain. Nice and slow (I carried Brennan's DSLR in a backpack for him and he frequently wanted to stop to take photos).
Note that I did take 3 Ibuprofen before today's run, so I'm not sure that it would have been so pain free without the NSAIDS.
