Running in Millcreek canyon is great because the road is closed for 4.5 miles during the spring due to the winter. It is paved and zero traffic. It is also very pretty with lots of trees and the river along side of you the entire run. I could only make it 3.3 miles until snow blocked my way. My pacer HATES running uphill. Loves the downhill though.....I did my weekly long run during this adventure and let me tell you, it was HARD. approximately 1500 feet of elevation gain and a grumpy pacer makes a hard run even harder.
Earlier this week I had to go and get my tires rotated. So of course instead of sitting there like a schmuck I did my run. It's nice to start and end a run in a new spot, and get two birds with one stone. (No birds were killed during the making of this post nor on the run).
