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.
