Flag Rock loop, reverse direction 

 With Mr. The K, we ran up the North side to Flag Rock above Farmington, then down for a loop going the reverse of the usual direction. No two ways about it, the el. gain is steep from the road, even if it is only 1700 total.

Forget prep for Wasatch, this is prep for Zion. And Zion is prep for Wasatch. Ha. Glad you're back and feeling good.

Your Garmin said it was only 1700'? I did jog back up the hill at the end but that is only ~250'. My total elevation gain was just over 2000'. I know Garmin isn't always exact but I would hate to think it's giving me 100 extra feet every time I go out.

My Garmin has read as high as 1900 and as low as 1600 up to Flag Rock so I'm not sure what to believe.

Craig you must be all goosed up to run a 100 next month. I know I'm gonna do 50 of that so yes everything I'm doing now - which isn't much yet - is to get back into top shape and be ready for Zion adventure.
