Slept like crap and felt like crap today so what a perfect time to drink a bunch of coffee and do the west face of Grandeur! Super icy near the top and the whole thing was so absolutely miserable I wanted to cry. I always forget how freaking steep it is and this was my first time going down the west side - owieeeee! Super glad I got out though :)

My quads feel awesome today! They burn with every step down the stairs. It is so great to feel real muscle soreness rather than all the joint pain I am used to!

HUGE conundrum. I cannot decide which race to register for - the Antelope Canyon 55K or the Monument Valley 50K. I really want to do one this winter and they both look fantastic. If I knew it was going to be a crappy ski year, I would do both!

Today will go down as one of my happiest mornings in history! Skiing Mill Creek in the morning without a soul around is one of my most favorite things to do and this morning I had a little buddy to join me. Roo did great, he only tried to eat my skis eight times before realizing that was a really bad idea (the poles are another story). He just loves the snow and being outside and he makes me so HAPPY!

Yoga and then six on the BST from the zoo in shorts and a t-shirt. Then to Sweet Tooth Fairy for a pumpkin cupcake to negate my efforts, but I can do whatever I want because I am sad :(

AM: Forrest yoga

PM: 3 Roo walks and thought I would go for a short easy run. Made it 2 blocks and couldn't take another step on my knee. I fell going down Grandeur on Monday and twisted my knee. It hurt yesterday, but I stupidly ran through it because I needed to run and now I feel totally f-ed! Please please get better, I really need to be able to run and ski this winter. I just want ONE winter! Off for more cupcakes and red grape....

Early morning hike with Roo on the BST from Morris Meadows and then two laps on the Alta Summer Road with my touring gear working on my transitions for the big Citizen's SkiMo race on Tuesday. Just shooting for slight humiliation rather than total, utter humiliation Tuesday. Then 3 hours at the climbing gym and another 1-hour Roo walk - shew!

An exorbitant amount of walking.

First SkiMo experience ever. Did 2 laps on the course and it was ridiculously hard. There was a boot pack section that almost made me cry. I never want to do it again, but can't wait for next week! Things I need to work on/fix:

  1. Learn how to lock bindings so I don't pop out a hundred times and hold up traffic.
  2. Get brighter head lamp.
  3. Remove leashes from my skis since they are totally unnecessary.
  4. Wear bike helmet instead of ski helmet.
  5. Don't cry.

Over 2 hours of walking with Roo, 2 miles of running (knee not great), and then 2 hours at the climbing gym.

Early morning hike on the BST with Roo then cleaned my house for the first time since I moved in and rolled out 200 Christmas cookies which should equal about 20 miles or so.

2 laps at Brighton with a huge crew! 2700 feet of vertical, which is great for me but there were all these dudes in spandex who hit 10K by noon.

A little sad that I can't run, but I can ski, yoga, and climb so I did exactly that today. 

Made fresh tracks on the Nordic skis with the Roo-ster up MillCreek this morning and then attended my favorite Restore yoga class followed by 2.5 hours at the climbing gym.

Two 1-hour walks with the pup (should count for something!) and then an attempt at an upper body workout so I can better carry my poles for SkiMo season.
