Downtown and City Creek canyon. Felt better than anticipated, though not fast.

 

I guess your not supposed to run through City Creek Center. :(

Nice run.

Well that stinks you can't run through city creek center. I was thinking how fun it would be to run through there on a Sunday.

A few weeks ago a guard was yelling at me, but she was up above me on a bridge so I just pretended to not hear and kept running. This time a guard on my level told me no running... I did not stop running but did turn and run back out onto the street. Both times I was there early, before stores were open or shoppers were out.

It just doesn't seem right. I can see not letting people run when the stores are open and it's packed with people, but not when everything is closed with no people around.

The place has more security than Ft Knox. All those guards are probably bored out of their minds and just itchin' for some rule to enforce...

that's funny -you got in trouble for running, Fly.

So what is it, like a big open mixed use area downtown? Looks like it on the SLC city page.

It was probably because of your provocative attire. You know your shorts are not supposed to be above your knee.

NICE runs this week! Stinking city creek guards usurping their stinking authority, shame on them! seriously doubt that running is not allowed there especially during those early morning hours!

City Creek Center is actually just a fancy mall with a huge retractable glass roof and creek(complete with trout)....

Shorts not above my knees? I thought they had to extend at least as far down my leg as my knuckles, which for me is nearly to the floor!

Are you on vacation again?

I wish..... Thanks for checking on me Dale. I've just been busy. I should be able to update my blog tomorrow.
