An almost perfect course

Over the years and especially during the ones we’ve been running as a couple in Park City, our daily running route has not changed drastically, but has been evolved as we’ve moved around from house to house and as we’ve become bored with the original itinerary. Today, our morning run has a lot to offer; it starts with a flat one-mile section that warms us up, then there’s a grueling climb for another good mile, about the same distance is all downhill and then comes the best part of our daily routine, the path that follows McLeod Creek in a mild ascent, one of the very few creeks that flow through Park City. There’s lots of greenery, wildlife, and only a handful of people walking, running or cycling along this path. When it comes to running, this last stretch of effort truly is the icing on the cake!
