Lewis Peak. 10.5 miles, 3300 vert. 1:45 RT, 1:00:20 to the peak.  Moderate to hard effort on the up took it pretty easy on the way down.  Mile or so cruise'en the trails with the kido when I got home.

Nice easy cruise up Ben Lomond.  Kept it in granny gear most of the way up, but still managed to shuffle all the way to the peak.  Glad this feeling easier as it's a good marker of improvement for me. As I was running tonight, I was thinking about how getting up Ben Lomond used to be an expedition involving multiple quarts of water, hundreds of calories, and several hours of running,walking, and recovering after.  Now it's a single bottle and couple gels in the pocket and and easy cruise.  Pretty fascinating how our bodies become adapted to the work we do.  Oh, and a new sight up there tonight.  Came around a corner on the way down and there was a guy flying 20 feet over my head in a paraglider.  He buzzed back and forth along the ridge for a mile or so of my run never more than 50 ft or so above me, looked like a great way to spend an evening.  Not for me though, that is the kind of thing that would go very wrong for me.

15.25 miles, 3850 vert, 2:45 RT.

Quick and easy roll half way up Malan's before heading to the hospital with my wife for the big induction!  Oh ya :) New baby boy born just before 11:00 PM, 7.14, healthy and strong.  Both mom and baby are doing well. :))

Snuck out for a quick out and back on Indian Trail while mom and baby were crashed out this afternoon.  Returned with an ice cream shake and lunch for mom. Giddy from the run and the new addition and probably a little punchy from 1.5 hours sleep. 

10 miles, 2500 vert.

Easy hike/run with the boys up Indian Trail.  Couple miles.

22 miles up Mt Ogden and around Snowbasin.  Felt ok on the 5000 ft climb, kept a run going up to just short of the peak where even walking gets a little tricky.  Forgot to take extra gels with me so I felt pretty hammered on the way back to the car but suffered through on about 300 calories.

22 miles, 5300 vert, 4:25. 

Running 7 of 8 days: 86 miles, 22,500 vert.
