So, i pack up camp as quick as I can. (me vs 3)

And half way to my ma's I get a call.

"We're not doing Timp"

What? OK well, we met at my ma's and then went up the Y trail and on to Provo Peak, except we never made Provo Peak. Or even the base of it. Oh well. My bro.s are fun to hang out with. So we'll count it as an ABO outing.

Probably seven miles total with Alex, David and my side trip.

about 3 and a half hours.

Trail Work

Spent a beautiful day with the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation in Mineral Basin.

Its part of the entry fee to do 8 hours of trail work. So I swung a pulaski. Broke a McLeod handle, rolled some rocks, rolled my backpack. Had to listen to Aristotle. It was good. It even included about a 3/4 mile hike there and the same back with a ride on the Tram. nice.

Then on the way home I hit the Jordanelle perimeter. Just a 6 miler in an hour. I wish my bowels would NOT decide they need to empty a half hour into every damburn run.

Gross, huh?

Recharge

After a long drive and long day of Peruanos, I stopped off for an hour trail run in the 5fingers. Not too rocky, several stream crossings and perfect evening weather made it refreshing and makes me like trail running again. 6.25 miles.

biking with my babe

That title is SO cheesy, its sickening. But it was fun. We hit the trails for about an hour, maybe a bit more. She did great. No crashes. It was a beautiful time of evening and the weather was perfect. A downhilling monkey scared her good, so that was funny.

I put on the 5fingers and set out to jog for a while. I did one mile and had to visit the little boys room. I never went back out. Overtrained? Burned out? You tell me.

Hopefully I'll do some shorter stuff this week. One more long one the next week and then a bunch of short stuff. The clock is ticking. I want to be done!

Yoga Again

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

Comcast On demand.

Hey. It was something.

Compression socks, EFS, shake weights and mandates

38 miles

Ten hours twenty four minutes

13,500 feet up and down

Wrong way around Catherine and Ant Knolls

Tried the EFS and liked it. But it made it so I felt like I didn't need to eat. I still tried to eat, but I only ate 1 sandwich, 2 bananas, 4 bags of chomps, 2 snickers.

I tried eating another sandy, but couldn't. Carried 3 sandies home and a bag of chips.

Handheld bottles, not my fave, but functional. I think full strength EFS in the belt and water in the shake weights (or vice versa) might be the key.

Also eating meals.

Met Aaron at Brighton. Good man. 4 x CABG in 12/08

Mandate with Dan, good guy, great pacer. H2o refill and coke.

It got SO hot.

Way too soon after the last weeks's big run. Looks like small ones for a couple weeks, then a biggie, then the taper down.
