Spent another full day at Zions park. We did a few shorter hikes and didn't get away from the park until about 6 PM. We had a great time. We didn't get home until about 2 AM.

Today I didn't run until noon. The temperature was close to 70 deg. which I thought would feel nice.I guess I'm not used to it yet because it felt very hot. It seemed odd running around the lake with it still 3/4 covered in ice and a few lingering snow drifts while I'm sweating like crazy in the heat. I think I enjoy running in 30-40 deg. better as long as it's not windy. I went 11 miles at 8:24 pace with two 30 sec. hill sprints on two steep hills during the run.

I went for a 20 mile mountain bike ride today with a very bad wind. It took 1:38 which is probably the slowest I have ever done this loop.

Afternoon I did 1 mile with my son then one more myself.

This morning I went for a nice 10 mile run. It was around 20 deg. when I left and about 35 when I got back with no wind. I had to take my sweatshirt off and tie it around my waist after 2 mi. Just took it all easy at an overall pace of 8:26. The ice was all gone from the lake after all the wind yesterday and the loons were back on the lake. I love hearing the sound of their call while I run. I guess it's kind of a springtime thing. Ive been seeing a lot of other waterfowl on my runs including anywhere from 4 to 7 swans on my irrigation pond. I love this time of year.

 

PM ran 1 mile with my son then another myself. He has been getting bad stomach cramps on about half of his runs.

Beautiful morning. Started out at 35 deg. and about 45 when I finished with no wind. I just ran 5 miles at an easy pace. I plan to do a few more later on.

PM Ran 1 mile with my son and 3 more myself easy. My son got stomach cramps so bad he had to walk 4 times. He has tried eating nothing or eating a little but we can't figure out any pattern for when he gets them or not. It seems to be a problem on about half of his runs

This morning I went for a 15 mile mountain bike ride. It was a nice morning in the fourties to start and the sixties to finish. It was calm to begin with and started to get a bit of a wind the last 5 miles. Head wind of course but I lucked out by getting home just before the wind got really bad. Total time was 1:03.
