This past weekend a few friends and i headed for Moab. We had been planning on doing this trail run in Goblin Valley for a while now and decided to stay in Moab and try to make a trip out of it. A friend let us stay at his home in Moab so even though its a ways from Goblin Valley it was nice not to have to get a hotel. The weather was really disappointing down there. Friday it was wet and cold so we didn't do much other than go see a water fall and get some dinner. then we streamed Tosh.O on the computer all night and laughed our buts off. Saturday we got up early to head to the race. Turned out only 3 of the 5 of us were going to do it. I was originally registered for the 15 miler but with ongoing aches and pains in my shins i decided to do teh 10k. It was a cool race. the rain from Friday made parts a little slick but over all i had fun and would do it again. Good thing i dropped from the 25k cause my legs killed the entire time. After that we did a fun slot canyon. Its by Little Wild Horse. Not nearly as pretty but with all the rain and some pretty tough scrambles it was way more fun and technical. we go tout of the canyon just in time for "THE NOTHING" to hit and headed back to Moab. We barbecued for dinner and started a movie. it was only 9 pm but i was out. Next morning we cleaned the place real good and took off for home. It was a fun quick weekend trip. even with the rain.

thank goodness someone left a rope
lots of pools. everyone had to get wet eventually but it was fun trying to avoid it.

Faux Falls. man made but still cool enough for a look see.
Just outside the house we stayed at. the clouds were cool all day.
