Go, you chicken fat, go away!

I've been having this pain in my foot for, I don't know, maybe the last month?  Once I was outside by the pool slightly limping and my wife asked what was wrong.  I thought it was just a bunion or something so I told her nothing.  Well, early last week I decided to actually look at my foot.  I see this brown dot surrounded by pus.  I'm like, "Oh wow.  I have a splinter.  I guess there was something wrong."  Well, my wife was at girl's camp, and I wasn't brave enough to dig it out myself.  I figured I had been running on it this whole time so I did do another run last week.  But then I took a bunch of days off.  She finally got it out yesterday.  She poked and tweezed and prodded and squeezed.  She was getting bits and pieces of it out.  Or something out.  Then she finally squeezed and out pops this shard of glass!  So I've been running around for the last month with a shard of glass in my foot!

Anyway, it's a bit tender this morning.  But I was able to run fine.  I was super slow even though it was somewhat nice out.  I saw slow man and the hobo today.  My wife walked with two of my daughters, but I never saw them even though they were Flyby's on Strava.

My wife and I are taking a little trip up to Utah.  So if any of you Utah bloggers want to get on My Bloggers I've Met in Real Life list, now's the time.
 

My wife and I took a vacation up to Utah.  We visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City, mostly stayed in Park City, and spent half a day in Midway.  It was fun.  We tried to do a lot of outdoorsy type stuff.  On this day we hiked on a very busy pedestrian trail.  It was pretty scenery and some artsy murals in the underpasses and one tree with lots of retired shoes hanging on it.  We hiked up two miles together.  Then we turned around and ran down.  I got a little head start on my wife and I'm a little faster, so I waited at a bench for her at the trail head.   She texted me that she had a half mile to go, so I ran up to meet her.  She was only about a tenth of a mile away.  Then we ran back to the condo we rented together.
 

Today we went on a hike on the Abandoned Bonanza Trail Mine.  It started out kind of steep.  We got to the top and saw the old creepy abandoned mine.  Actually, it was pretty cool, but it was musty.  I saw a marmot.  That was really cool, too.

Today my wife and I rented mountain bikes and just rode around a little.  We went on the same trail as Wednesday, but we went the other direction.  That direction is downhill.  But it's a gradual downhill, and the climb uphill was not bad if you're in the right gear.  My wife was struggling because she never rides bikes anymore and it was hurting her pelvic bone.  Anyway, she told me to go on without her so I rode back up the trail to where we turned around Wednesday and then headed back towards her.  It started raining pretty good, but if felt nice.  By the time we got back to the bike shop it had stopped.  I got a little over 10 miles in, which is a short bike ride, but it was fun.
