Had in my head that I was going to attempt Big Mountain on the bike this morning, but my glutes were still so sore from PT, all that "running" on Friday, and being on my feet for 8+ hours yesterday helping out at the Squaw Peak race that I almost bailed for a flatter ride. But I didn't!

Rode from the base of Emigration to Big Mountain and back with 3300 feet of climbing - vomit! My quads almost quit working at the top and that is the closest I have ever gotten to seriously bonking - it was AWESOME! I am 6 months out of surgery this week and I can finally do things that require a GU :) I am getting my life back!

Speaking of awesome, had a blast working at the Squaw Peak finish yesterday and watching all the amazing runners finish. I think watching people finish races is my most favorite thing to do ever. I took photos of the finishers among other things like feeding Creamies to this one guy that finished in the top 20 having never ran further than 17 miles in his whole life, icing people's heads, doling out chocolate milk, applying sunscreen, and listening to seriously one amazing story after another.

I also got to see my friend's mom finish amazingly strong (I wish my mom could do that) and finally got to meet Bryce from the blog. I heart runners. I am so doing this race next year!

"I'm a less good person when I'm not able to run, and that shouldn't necessarily be the case,” Anton Krupicka's thoughts on injury.

AM: 2 x 12 minutes of RUNNING. Progress.

PM: Windy cruise on the Legacy.

Eek - I did something crazy and registered for a race today. I had an overly optimistic moment and now I am almost embarrassed to say which one.

PM: Elliptical followed by 5 minutes of RUNNING because I just can't help myself and it feels so good even though I shouldn't try to run 2 days in a row just yet! Did wobble board squats, single-leg squats, and airplane things in addition to the normal daily hip routine.

The 10% rule can bite me! I have a fall trail marathon to train for :) There is no scientific evidence to support it. When Running Up Mileage, 10 Percent Isn’t the Cap.

AM: 2 x 15 minutes of RUNNING!!!

PM: Yoga

AM: Read a 100+  page protocol on the stationary bike. Wish I could do all my work on the bike! Quite a bit of stiffness/pain in the hip flexor, bummer.  

PM: Lots of squats and normal hip routine.

Happy 6 months out of surgery (tomorrow) Duathlon Day!!!  I did my longest run since the Turkey Trot today and climbed the most ever on my bike. Probably not the smartest thing I've ever done, but I feel fabulous!

AM: Hallelujah! 35 minutes RUNNING on the TM with no walk breaks. Man this has been one long haul!!!

PM: Rode from HCI to the top of Millcreek Canyon and back. Climbed a total of 3990 feet. Wish I would have known and I would have climbed 10 more :) Upper Milcreek is still not open to cars making it super fun! I just wonder how I am going to feel tomorrow for more biking adventure...

Now for a big cold one :)

Met some peeps camping at Rockport State Park and rode from the park to almost Kamas. Was hoping for a chill ride, but that wind pretty much killed me.
