Running in Zion Canyon at dawn is a magical experience as the sunrise starts lighting up the left side of the mountain with a surreal glow of pink, purple, orange and red hues. The steep grade helps gathering your thoughts about endurance and determination as well… In a typical west coast fashion there were bikers, runners, joggers everywhere at 6am… Also organic coffee that I plan to sample after this run.
Endurance
6000m run in Zion Canyon
– every 1000m: 50 pushups
also
2-mile steep climb to East Canyon Rim

– Also completing a 30-minute rated steep trail with my daughter in only 5.1 minutes – priceless
