AM: 5 - PW

PM: Med Workout with Jon.   We met up a the fairgrounds and headed up to Providence Canyon.  It was windy and warm, but the rain held off until we finished.  We decided to do some trail running and hit the deer fence trail between providence and millville canyons.  We started our 6 mile tinman(ish) tempo starting once we hit the trail.

The rest of the miles were cool down on back home.  Good run, at least based on my tiredness.

AM: 7

PM: 7 (6.25 with Jon then did 1 lap around the fairground's grass)

  After dinner, I borrowed my neighbor's distant relative's tiller to turn over my garden.  It started right away, I used it for 5 mins, then shut it down for a minute.  It refused to turn on again.  Seriously.  45 mins of trying everything I could think of including taking a break to eat a piece of cake.  No go.  In fact, I pulled so many times I pulled the pull cord right off the tiller.  Shoot.  After having to drill out the 4 rivets and pry them out with brute force, I was able to tie the robe back on.  Now, to find a riveter and some rivets.  A few phone calls and a trip to millville to see Dan (and to borrow his tool), I had it all fixed.  After fixing everything, I gave it a good dozen tugs without the stupid thing starting and gave the tiller back just as it got really dark.  Project failure.

Easy 8 up onto Von's park trail.  It was a good way to recharge the system.  Too bad that trail is so short, its fun singletrack.

"Long trail run with Cody JON.  We parked at First Dam and ran up the river trail to Guinivah Malibu (trail is very passable the whole way), averaging 8-8:30 miles.  Then we ran up to the Wind Caves- the trail is in perfect condition.  It climbs 1000 ft in just under 2 miles, so we averaged 11:50's up.  Then we turned around and ran back to the start of the river trail.  Last week I JON bonked hard at mile 16- this week I HE felt GREAT the whole way.  We even had a few sub-7 miles towards the end.  We turned around again at Stokes parking lot and ran up 2 miles (onto the singletrack), then finally ran back to First Dam.  20 miles in 2:48:31 (8:24 avg) with about 3000 ft climbing.  The weather was gorgeous, the trail was in great condition, I had a good time talking to Cody Jon, and I felt fabulous TIRED.  I can't imagine a better start to a day."

That about sums up the run.

Vertical 2600'

* First 80+ mileage week of the year.

81 miles - 4150' Vertical

I am working on the second Bus project at work and it is arguably a bigger pain than the first.  This sign goes on a double decker in England.  So far I am up to 23 hours of time at work in 2 days.  Another full day tomorrow.  I did make lots of good progress today, in spite of slipping out for a tad to watch Paul run his 5K at USU.  Nice Job Paul!
