| Somehow another few months slipped by and I slacked on the blog again. a wise coach once told me that even though I'm not running I should make some blog entries so here goes.
Lost of rock climbing and exploring the past few months with the kids. Did Mt Olympus last week which should count as a run I guess. Ran up it in my fastest time yet, 1:16 which means I'm not dead yet. Read some good books at work too, 1421 and Again To Carthage. I'm usually a few months behind on books since I wait until someone gives them to me. Again To Carthage was a spot on hit to read. So many truths in that book.
My group went without me on the R2R2R this weekend. I had to work weekends as usual and couldn't get it off. Pretty bummed about that. From the Mt Olympus run I probably could have stumbled through a 50 miler. I ran the Logan River Trail today, six miles of it, and felt pretty good getting out again. Today I'm heading up Blacksmith Fork kayaking and taking the Gopro since the river is full of beaver and I want some video.

| Full day off, on call. Ran the new BST trail spur that's still closed in the morning after getting the kids to school. Did a headlamp easy run at 10pm. |

| I parked a motorhome up in Logan Canyon for three weeks so the kids and I have been going up this week and kayaking an hour each day in the Spring runoff. I've been able to get some good trail running in finally too. Ran Crimson to River Trail and back. |

| Nice run after work along the Des Plaines River Trail Network, Chicago. Slow and easy run on soft singletrack. What a beautiful summer day. |

| Spring Hollow trail. Mostly a run today working through all GPX file features on my Garmin Fortrex. Steep learning curve this week learning how to download topographical maps and trail way points into it. Garmin watches just can't cut it on the longer trails and getting 15 hoirs of battery life is a serious advantage too. I'm planning on some deeper Grand Canyon running this summer and need a much better antenna also. |

| Dropped kids off at school and headed up to the canyon to the rv for some mountain time. Just about finished sewing a new skirt for the kayak. Last Spring I swamped twice trying to run the lower river, mostly because I couldn't roll the kayak without water getting in. Also the fact that it was a first date with an "expert" woman kayaker who was utterly destroyed by the river and lost one of my kayaks when it was torn away by the river.. Couple that up with my fumbling in a kayak and it was quite an adventure. She never did go out with me again. I ran Gueneva up Spring Hollow in the morning for an easy 8 miles. Late afternoon I headed back for the same trail. Best experience of the week. When I reached the trailhead there were two mountain bikers gearing up. One of them held his hand out for me to stop. He says, we are going for a Strava record up and down. If you don't mind, could you wait so we don't have to get around you passing on the way up? Sure. But in my heart I smiled. Anyone with a lick of time on steep singletrack knows that a trail runner will climb much faster than a biker, even fat and out of shape like me. I let them go for five minutes and ran right by them in a mile and a half. :-) |
