Trails!

Providence Trail - 

Got a 3 am work related call.  Nice.  At least it woke me up enough to make good time today.  Could just be a coincidence, who knows.

T- 1:20:00 (new record) 11.6mph 1750' Vert

Deer Fence to Dry - 

T- 1:20 (12mph) 16 miles 1150' Vert

 Bike Commute

30 mins - 8 miles

PM: 60 mins of TRX

Providence Canyon Trail - uneventful but great

T- 1:20:00 (11.5 mph) 1750' Vert 15.5 miles

Took a half day vacation and spent the afternoon hiking Crimson Trail with Bethany.  It was a blast.  The river is flooding over the trail so we did an out and back on the trail rather than return along the trail.  Hopefully the trail survives. 2 hours with 2k' vert.

PM: 30 mins of TRX

Deer Fence to Dry Canyon - 

HJ News had an article describing the mile long trail piece that they are building going up Providence Canyon.  It says another 5-6 weeks until it is done.  I can't wait!

T- 1:24:30 (11.7) 1250' Vert

Test @ 5 weeks of no running -

Today I ran 2 miles!  Not much, but it was sure nice to run again.  Sure, I could have run sooner, but I wanted to let the leg heal as much as possible before I tested it out.  I did laps around Gibbons Park grass fields.  Things were great until mile 1.5 or so and then the IT got tight.  No pain, but tightness so I called it good at 2.  Not sure what to think about it.  I guess I will try another 2 miles tomorrow to see if it is better/worse/same.  At best, I will be ramping up very slowly.  At worst, it hasn't improved and I am stuck on the bike all summer.  Too soon to tell.

I did get in some biking before and after running, but who cares about that?

Bike T- 67:00 (14 miles) 1000' Vert

Running T- 16:20 (8:10) 150' Vert

Long Bike Ride-

House to Deer Fence South to Blacksmithfork Canyon.  I battled huge winds but they died down by the time I turned off to Left Hand Fork Canyon.  Classic.  I went to check out Leatham Hollow trail, but found a stream instead.  Bummer.  I only made it half mile or so before I was forced to give up.  

T- 3:00:00 (11.5mph) 2500' Vert

Picture of the "Trail"

 PM: 2 Miles of easy running to both check things out and loosen up.  Things went well.  No pain and my tight muscles loosened up a bit as well.  Good sign.  I got home and did 30 mins on the TRX.  Exhausting day.  

  ** Weekly summary 64 miles equivalent - 9550' Vert - 633 mins - 120.75 bike miles, 2 grass, 2 road running miles.  Lots of volume this week.  Next week I will be traveling, so not much will be happening fitness-wise
