Like the canyon

ART, no running, core work.

Moderate paced cruise up around head hunter again. Need to get up high a couple more times this year, bag a peak or two.  Short days and a gimpy leg are making it tough to get out too far from home.  Ran into Forrest running with the fast girl train.  Good to see those guys, all talking about what 100 they want to do, encouraging to see everyone get'en after it!

7-8 miles, mostly easy, vert 800 or so. 

Hip/knee/ITB 8 outa 10. (light stretching and rolling post run)

8 miles. Up Indian and back.  Perfect weather! Taking it pretty easy still. ART.

1400 vert

Easy jog around Katie's loop.  2.5 miles or so. Hip a little tight tonight.

Head hunter loop again. Wore the wrist computer just to track the miles and vert. My fault, but that thing has a way of making what are suposed to be easy runs harder than they should be. Always trying to keep an average. Low trail to high trail loop around head hunter is right where I guessed it on miles, just under 8. A little more vert than I thought, 1450. Pretty easy paced overall, 7.8 miles, 1460 vert, 9.2 average, though the return miles were all under 8. Damn computer.

Early morning run from Wheeler's to Snowbasin then on to Mt Allen and Mt Ogden. Rode up wiht Cory and Matt, Shane met us up near the Basin.

Climb up from the base to the peaks was brutal. Legs and lungs felt horrible, worked really hard trying and failing to keep up with Matt. We kept a solid pace up to the top of Wildcat, then took it down a notch the rest of the way up.

Windy and cold near the peaks. Spent a few minutes in the tram car warmng up and hanging out. By the time we warmed up, I thin k most of the group was ready to head down, I insisted we tag the peaks.

Cruised down the srvice road, then took the bomb route down to the lot. We all jumped in Shane's car and took the short cut back to the trial head.

Knee ok, hip so so, pretty achey after. Guess that's what 5000 vert up and 3800 down will get me. Still on the mend.

14-15 miles or so.
