Waited until the afternoon and then couldn't control myself. It was perfect conditions for a run. But instead I rode my mountain bike all over the valley. It was fun even if I was on pavement for most of it. I started by going up to providence star and checked out deer fence. Still too muddy for a bike so I headed down the hill and over to Millville. I crossed the highway and headed out to Hyrum. I before long, I found myself on the opposite side of Hyrum Lake. Just over an hour into a ride, I decided I had better go home. My leg was a bit achy by the end of the ride. Is it smart to ride for 2 hours? I hope it is ok. I am getting pretty anxious to get healed up (obviously).
20 mins on the bike - keeping things chill again this week as my test I ran Sat failed. My leg was achy all sunday and some of today as a result. Another week of rest with a little biking mixed in.
Biked up to Deer Fence in the tornado. The wind made things interesting. The trail is in great shape. A bit bumpy but dry. I headed over to Dry Canyon ditched the bike and ran for 1 MILE. Leg felt pretty good during and after. Decided to keep it short today and not push it. The running was glorious even if I am horribly out of shape and barely moving.
This is our latest spectacular that I was working on. Headed to vegas. It is only 1/24th of what the whole thing will be. The final sign will be 308 feet by 60 feet high. 36 million LEDs.
Only worked half a day today since I have worked so many hours this past few weeks. I was able to spend it with my wife and my daughter as we threw a party for my daughter (her birthday along with my wife today). It was a princess tea party. So much fun...for them. I did escape after the party for a bike ride/run. I headed up to deer fence and decided to get a few miles running. My leg has been feeling great lately and I wanted to test it out. I made it 3 miles with no pain and was pretty stoked until I got back to my bike and found a flat tire. I didn't have any tools to fix it with me (totally unprepared) and learned my lesson as I had to call the wife for a ride home. I did end up running the 1.5 miles pushing the bike to the end of the trail. No pain from that jog but I will have to see if I overdid it..
Fixed another flat tire then headed out the door on the bike. Biked to Spring Hollow, ditched the bike and ran back down the river trail. Ran 5 glorious miles (although I was breathing really hard) and then biked back home. 19 miles of biking, 5 of running. Leg is still feeling pretty good. Although right now 5-6 is probably the high end of what it can handle. I will take it as long as it continues to improve. I have been putting Arnica cream on it 3x's a day now for 10 days and it makes a HUGE difference. Love it.
AM: 12 holes running on the Golf Course. Leg felt great. Came home and biked for 20 mins.
PM: 30 mins on the bike then 1 mile walking on the treadmill. I hope no one bothers to read these boring entries. Not worth your time. At least they are short I guess.
Today's excursion took me up to Green Canyon via BST on the bike. Once there I rode up the trail until the snow defeated me. It happened at the end of the first north side trail about 2 miles from the trailhead. I decided it was time to run so I left the bike there and ran back down the trail to BST via King Park (3 miles) and back. It was a great morning for running and biking. I decided that it is more fun to run up Green, but it is more fun to bike down. Sure running is fun, but downhill riding is awesome. Anyway, after my 6 mile run I rode down the trail and headed over to Deer Fence trail via the shortcut behind the water lab. Once I hit Providence Canyon, I was spent and coasted home.
