Up on Cedar Mountain (Kolob) for Scout Camp for the next few days. Got out and did 3+ before the sun came up so I could go fishing before activities started. Caught a couple, one about 2 feet long! Didn't keep either though.

They had a mini triathalon this afternoon that I didn't know about but decided to jump in on (about 300m swim, 4 mile bike 1-1.5 mile run). Got 2nd to Ross Decker by a few minutes. I was pretty dizzy getting out of the water and Ross didn't seemed dazed at all! Then I get on one of the scouts bikes and my knees are in my chest as I ride. I moved the seat up as far as it would go and had it fall off a couple times. My quads were burning like crazy after! When I got off the bike it took me a quarter mile before I could run without looking like I was constipated but I did end up passing a bunch of the "team" relay runners. They are just scouts but it still feels good to pass the teams who had someone different run each leg!

Got out with James, Dave, and Bill this morning. It was a great run and I felt great. Good to get the miles in. Ran by Quail and the hills throughout didn't bother me at all. In my head it feels like I have been out of it for a while but looking back I have been running, just not quite as many miles and not with the club. Hope to get back into it hard this summer.
