Mueller park Jr. High

This is one side of the hill

Ok so a few months ago I was at this park with some friends to play frisbee and other sports and I thought it was a pretty cool park so I thought I would tell you why this park is great for any runner. The park is at a jr high school. It's the Mueller park jr high. The address is  955 E 1800 S
Bountiful, UT. These are two of the reasons why I like this park.

1. There is this hill that you can run up to do hill sprints. Luckily its not a very long hill, but it is steep enough that it will push you.
2. There is a paved path that is great for running on. Its not exactly a track because the distances are off, but it is great if you want to get in some interval training or if you are a beginner looking for a place to build your base. The distance around the loop is about .37 miles.

This park is a great running place for anyone who lives in the area or who is vacationing and is looking to get a quick run in while they are here.

I included a link to mapmyrun that shows the mueller park loop. Let me know if there are any other parks you would like me to write about or what kind of article you would like me to write next. I have a couple things in the works but I am excited to hear your feedback!

Have fun on the run!

Lambs Canyon Trail

Finally after years of envisioning it I made my way up the trail, just  another mile and I would accomplish this dream. My dream of running the lambs canyon trail.
So I have been visiting this canyon for my entire life and about 6 years ago I discovered that there was a trail here. I was so excited I decided I was going to go run it with my friends, but for some reason I never managed to get around to it. Recently my twin and I decided that we needed to finally do this trail. It was an awesome experience.
This trail is about two miles up and two miles back. It starts of with a bridge and the rest of the trail is a mountain dirt trail. For running, this is the best trail that I have posted yet. There are not many loose rocks, and the incline is pretty easy the during the duration of the trail. It is fairly narrow though so if you take a group you will need to run in a line. Some things that you should be aware of is that this mountain is known to have stinging nettle so make sure you are aware of your surroundings. Also during the end of August the mountain is ripe with thimble berries, which is like a mountain raspberry.
To me this trail is more about experiencing the run on the trail than it is about the view at the end. Let me know what you think.
To get to lambs canyon trail take I-80 east past east canyon, it should be the next exit to lambs canyon, but either way make sure you take the lambs canyon exit then drive for about a mile up the canyon and you should see the trail head.
