Yoga

60 minutes of Yoga on the edge - sunrise, with Sarah Ivanhoe.

Comcast On demand.

Hey. It was something.

Another Group!

Jefe and I got on the trail at 6:30 and started our expotion.

Tor met us at Big Water (perfect timing - 21 miles and just over 3 hours) with a Camelback refills and some fresh attitude/fresh legs.

All in all, we traveled 35.61 miles in 9 hours flat. 14,000 up, 12,600 down.

I squished a mouse (didn't see it, Jefe told me, I thought it was poop)

2 bananas, 2 snickers, 2 pb&h, Salty chips, 2 pkgs of shot blox, about 200 ml of gatorade/water. 4 sport legs.

Saw a fox about 20 ft in front of me on the trail.

oops - I forgot to run.

Or maybe I just didn't feel like it, ok?

But tioday I finally went out and trotted up the TL. put in 8.8 in the 5fingers. My little feet hurt. What a baby. I think it was 1:49 or something like that on the time. Hot.

More mosquitoes

We got a baby sitter. And what did we do with our free time together? We went hiking at Brighton. Poor wifey has a stuffy nose (allergies) but she went anyway, swatting mosquitoes along the way. We went up about two miles as the sun descended into the valley. Then we came back down. Yes, I am counting it as 4 miles of training for the 100 - hey, its on the course!

It was nice to be with my love.

Bear Lake Circumvention

2:27. 51 miles. It felt really good to spin the legs and cruise. 20.8 mph average. Nice weather. Pretty day.

Group Run again

I really like running with other people. Fred, Korey and I headed out with Sarah and Emily. We did 7.15 miles in just barely over an hour. It felt great! Kept my heart rate way low and relaxed. Five fingers on pavement felt great.

Uintas

Boy Scouts.

Wed - 6+ miles into Jordan Lake + Day Hike up about 2 miles (7 hours) All 5 fingers

Thur - 4+ miles to Four Lakes Basin + 3 mile hike to the ridge (7 hours) 5 fingers side trip

Thats my story and I'm stickin to it.

Tom was given all sorts of "crap"

I like fishing

Mosquitoes!!!!

Group Run

Finally got to run with other humans! Sean, Scott, and I were on foot and Tyler was on his bicycle. We covered 18.75 miles and 5000 ft up & down in 4 hours.

We hit the pavement and just walked it in. It was the longest those nut jobs have run. They killed me on the ups, like I thought they would. I went a little faster on the downs and gave them a nice show as I gave mother Earth some lovin'. I tumbled and I think I did something to my right hip/SI, but I'm hoping that I didn't.

40 oz of water gone at the top. 1 snicks and 6 cliff blox. Felt good - except for the stupid fall.

Thank you wife! You are the best.

It Pete's Birthday!

Had a plan to go Huge with the Jefe. But after 48 hours of huffing paint fumes, I bailed.

In fact, I wonder about bailing all together? Have I come too far already? Probably. Just finish the training and get it done? Come on, talk me into it. Or out. I think I'll do it. But I should NOT have skipped today.

I have a headache.

It's Peter's Birthday

And I celebrated by running up to Cascade Springs and back. It was warm and beautiful. Sweaty, shirtless, zone 4-5. Felt really good!

Dipped my head in the stream.

Found a tick in my hair on the way down.

10.3 miles.

2000 ft el.

1:36:29

Hit a 4:22 for a second on the paved spring side descent.

DV Loopers

Trotted about again. 1:16:52. Five fingers. Bruised heel and ball on right foot. Too rocky. 7 miles.

Pretty

2400 ft ups & downs

DV Loops

1 Hour 45 trotting around. Talked to Sue and Chris. Enjoyed the sights and smells of the beautiful mountains. 9.8 miles.

(More like 2 - 52.5 minute trots: one with Captain Isaac, one without)

2800 ft ups & downs

I wear my glasses at night

Tried out the night running just there. Started at 9:45. After about two miles up the road, I decided it was not a great idea to be there alone. Big Baby. Something told me I should turn around. I think its a good Idea to listen to "something" when it tells you stuff like that. So I did. But then I went back up and then down. Had to get my hour!

I watched fireworks for 5 minutes, so I had to make up that time. 6.18 miles 1 hour (not including the firework break). 1120 el.

It was beautiful. I feel so good and do so well at night. Why? Cooler temps? Can't see how steep it is? Pretty sky? Not sure. But next time, I'm getting a partner.
