PM - 6.5 mi. Ran to Sugarhouse, met Andrea along the way, did a loop and called it a day. 85 miles in the last 4 days... tomorrow I'm taking an easy day in terms of running, but planning to go big w/ some ski mountaineering objectives. Then a long run on Saturday. 

AM - 10 miles on the trails in Dimple Dell park. 

Not exactly what I had planned for the morning... I had the day off from work and planned on doing a big ski mountaineering day. Long story short, conditions were unstable, and I took a very scary fall... came out of it with some bruises and cuts, but luckily nothing major. Got humbled by the mountains today. I wrote more about what happened on my website: http://wasatchandbeyond.blogspot.com/2011/05/lesson-learned-in-limber-pine.html

So after I decided to pull the plug on my ski day, I went for a nice run in Dimple Dell to clear my head. Great to be on those wood chip trails.... and even better to finally be running shirtless! Its about time!

 PM - Ran from home up to Sugarhouse, met Andrea, and did a few loops around the park. 

AM - Long run w/ Andrea and my friend Bryan from work. Started at Mutual Dell golf course, ran down Emigration Canyon, then along Wasatch Drive/Blvd to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon.  http://twitpic.com/4xk55e  Andrea ran 17 and then jumped on a bike that we had stashed along the route. I pretty much always do long runs w/ no water, so it was nice to be able to actually take some drinks while Andrea was biking along and could hand me a bottle. Great run... feeling awesome... 4 weeks until UVM!!!

 PM - Did the hardest thing I know... RESTED. No running, no skiing, no biking. My back was pretty sore from my fall yesterday, so I figured it needed some extra rest. I don't want that problem to linger around.
