June? Really?

What a turn in the weather. 40's and foggy, rainy, even snowed last night! No motivation whatsoever to go out and trot for an hour in that! So Rest week started early. Good. I need it.

Expotition.




25 miles. 5 hours 52 minutes. 7000 ft of elevation.
A hail/lightning storm. 3 PB&H, 1 Snix, 8 Gu Chews. 100 oz H20, 80 oz Gatorade (only drank 40.) Heavy pack! Chips before. Choco milk After.
I know I went 25 miles in 30 minutes less last time. But I had to wait out the storm and drop 2 dukes.
Sound didn't work, bummer.

Trails?

They both started out really nice, but ended up disappearing in the dead-fall and whatnot. I got back in the 5fingers, but my baby toe still hurts a bit. Forgot my garmin. How could I? I was out about and hour and the Google Earths looked like it was about 3.5 miles. STEEP!!

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.
