Easing back into things. Leg is feeling good finally again, but easy does it as I am sure it is not healed yet.  30 mins walking on the treadmill.

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).

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. 

1:30 for everything.

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.
