AM: Early Terraces to Ave's Twins w/ Roo. Spectacular cotton candy sunrise!

PM: Horsepark run w/ Andrea, Jake, and Roo. Roo's first double and perhaps mine too. Felt awesome after so I might need to do more of these shake-out things. Plus crazy Aussie dog could run all day!

Up and down the City Creek Canyon Road at a moderate effort. A fantastic run beating my previous City Creek round-trip by 19 minutes which was set the summer before my first hip surgery. #betterthannew #moresteeplechasestoke

Rest-ish day. 5 miles total walking plus SI beating and super intense glute workout at PT using EMG to get my glutes firing. Bum's going to be tired tomorrow...

Things are getting real! Six minute Wire PR from the zoo! Sub 40 minutes according to my watch OMG! Listened to Blue Turtle Seduction the whole way up to keep up my cadence. Felt the best ever on the downhill, the Bushidos are game changers.

AM: Terraces loop w/ Roo on mushy legs.

PM: More intense glute work at PT. Ran with electrodes on my butt and hamstring to learn how to run with more bum and less hamstring. This EMG thing is super neat! Then 3-mile dog walk to get ice cream.

AM: Red Butte/Zoo loop w/ Roo. He chased a biker and is now grounded to the leash forever. Biker was pissed to put it mildly. Pre-6 am is too early for that many F-bombs!

PM: 2 mile walk & 2 hours at the climbing gym & all my PT stretchies

Grandeur "Fun" Run!

2:20:58, 9.5 miles, 3,900 feet of gain.

Set a solid 13 minute Grandeur PR without hurling or feeling that horrible. Was pretty wobbly on the descent into Millcreek, but still faster than I've ever run it. The trails were perfectly wet - sticky but not slick. Best part was finishing with the smell of bacon in the air.

Made friends with a super nice gal on the way down that nicely waited for me atop the final climb to make sure I didn't get lost heading down to the finish (course is unmarked and confusing!). Nice gal also convinced me to head up for a short cool-down loop which ended up being another 1,800 feet of climbing - ha! Trail peeps are crazy.

13 miles total with 5,700 feet of climbing. Perfect Steeplechase training run.

PM: 4 mile rainy Morris BST loop w/ Roo. Rolls and hip PT.

PM2: 3 mile wine-o walk. Back in the good old days all my friends lived within a mile radius of each other in the Ave's and now we all live within a mile of each other near 9th and 9th. Plastic cup walks are back, happy summer - yay!

AM: Pipeline w/ Wheels and then bikes to brunch.

PM: Memory Grove hike with the pups.

PM2: Ran into a garbage can on my bike and jacked my leg. Please people don't put your garbage cans in the bike lane especially when garbage day was days ago. It was dark and I didn't see it until I was swerving to miss it and took it in the knee :(

Restore yoga and then aborted Emigration ride w/ T due to downpour and frozen fingers. After today and last night's garbage can crash I am rethinking this cross-training thing :)

Swampy Lakes Loop and then leg icing in Devil's Lake. Roo got stuck in some muck in the middle of the lake and I had to go rescue him and my feet were so cold I thought I was going to puke.
