Silverton update

All is well here in Silverton. I have been on some solid runs and feel very strong right now, just gotta keep the momentum going for another week. I rolled into town on Wednesday night and immediately got up to Grant-Swamp and back to South Mineral (1.33). The next morning I headed up Porcupine creek, across from KT aid station, and made it around the bowl to the top of the climb (2.27). Today I started at Grouse, headed up to Handies and back (2.33). Today was probably the most rewarding run thus far with the views atop Handies. Not much snow anywhere, a few snow banks but nothing like the last time we ran this direction. No pictures because I left the camera with Nicole. Not really sure on the mileage but up here it's more about time on your feet than anything else.

Last, my thoughts and prayers are with little Beckam, Nicole's nephew. He's been in the hospital for the last couple of days with a fever and kidney issues. Be strong little Beckam!
