A.M. - Stayed the night in a hotel in Green River, Wyoming on Wednesday night. The hotel had a small fitness room with an elliptical machine and a couple treadmills, so I had planned on spending a little time on the elliptical in the morning. Not to my surprise, a gentleman was on the machine when I got down there and he was early in his workout. My only option was the treadmill and I wasn't going to run. So I hoped on that baby, set it to a decent an incline and brisk walking pace, and tried to make the most of my time. I gradually ratcheted up the time and incline and ended up doing about 3 miles in in around 45 minutes. It actually felt like a relatively decent workout. Got a sweat going and the heart pumping a bit. The hotel is on Wild Horse Canyon Rd and if you keep following the road (I think northeast) past the hotel, it soon turns into dirt and gradually winds and climb up through Wild Horse Canyon. Last year, when I was up here I ran up it and it was a cool run. Actually did see some horses and although its on the high plains of Wyoming, it actually felt like central/southern Utah because of the beautiful rocks. Wished I could have done it again. |
