Pence Point

Headed out with the Jefe for a section of "the trail". East Canyon to Lamb's. Started out slow and lovely. Stops for various things. Looked for the spring for a while. Found it further up the trail. Then ended up running the wrong down-canyon and came out on Mtn. Dell, dodging golf balls on the fairway. Then we bush whacked our way up the water shed rive back to Lambs. Late start, went long, unhappy wife. Family pictures cheered her right up though.

12.75 miles. 2 hours 53 minutes.

2800 up, 4150 down

The snow is melting!

Spent two hours trotting around the dv hills again. Beautiful day. Little bit of mud, but the snow is receding rapidly, hooray!

Got in 11.6 miles with a whole bunch of elevation change. Hit a 5:14 mile coming down Homestake. Yikes. Kept the average HR at 149. Long and slow baby.

Oh and the plantar fascia is feeling ok. Just keep stretching and yoga-ing.

Pinky toe is feeling a bit better too. Anxious to get back out in my 5 fingers.

3000 ft el.

Long and Lonely Road

I love the Timpanogos

5 hours 16 min 25 miles

5620 up, 5300 down

Did the last 7 of "The Trail", then suffered through town on pavement.

2 PB and H's, 4 granola bars, 2 nectarines, a GU that my body rejected.

Ran out of water at about 4 hours. Bought a gatorade at the gas station. Bad eating. Got behind and felt too crappy to catch up. Lots of hiking.

Need to stick with White Bread (Granny Sic.) and smooth PB and More Honey on the expotitions.

Its going to be a long summer indeed.

Timp

I love this mountain.

Had to clear my head of microbiological worries and lack.

That doesn't even make sense. Oh well.

Spent an hour up there. 1700 el.

5.7 mi.

Haven;t been wearing my 5 fingers because of my baby toe. Frustrating.

I tried today, but it hurts a bit.

Remember?

Memorial day. Soggy DV trails.

A little mid mountain.

A little sunrise.

A little homestake. Good times indeed.

5.4 mi. In one hour. 1500 el. (mas o menos).

Had to keep "checking in"

Do I really need my Pinky toe?

Cause I might have busted it. About half a mile into the trail, I caught the outside of my 5 finger on a root and it hurt ever so badly. Of course, like an idiot, I continued. Super rocky trail made the pain even worse. What a baby, huh?

Plantar fasciitis? Hope not.

Can you guess what I put under that rock?

1 hour 50 minutes. 7.8 miles. Over 2700 ft el. gain/loss.

This is the end of the event trail. THE trail.

Brighton and CPR

Started at 5800 feet and power hiked (with very little running) all the way to 9700 feet. 8.75 miles.

Then it was Snow joggin for a couple of miles and trotting down down down. I still needed an hour, so I took a side road (7200 feet or so) and went up to 8200, scaring a herd of does along the way. Then down to my car for a 21.4 mile adventure in 4 hours 50 minutes. (6000 ft el. gain/loss) I have to call it adventure, not a run because I do not run up steep hills or any snowy hills. Big wuss, huh?

3 PB and H's, 4 GU blocks, a lot of potato chips, a granola bar, 100 ml of water, 10 oz Gatorade.

Then some pork Tostadas at the Tarahumara, a mexicoke, a choco milk, and a donut.

And for recovery, taught 5 hours of CPR.Hooray adventure.
