rule #1 Cardio...rule #4 Doubletap...

Finally...Needed the sun and some blue skies, but I finally got into some DD's. Decided to to the Middle Fork loop. Kept in nice and easy. Avg around a 9 minute mile. Not steller, but not total weaksauce either. Peace!

gYm time on the rollers. Place was hop'n this morning. Legs felt aight nothing to sore from Sat which is good. Peace.

Well.. another CheeseWheel grinder. Tried pushing the pace - felt aight. Some planks and wall sits after. Another couple days of sun and it should dry things out.. Yo.

Another gYm run.. I'm in need of spring. YO. Plank and Wall Sit after. Zions baby.

Ah..Felt aight today! Got out early which was nice. Very Windy though so, threw on the Brooks wind jacket - awesome! Did the Middle Fork loop again plus around the island out to Snowcrest to hit the 13.1. Only 3 dog encounters - weaksauce.

Peace - YO!

Well... not feeling great, but made it down to the gYm. Ended up runnning on the wheel o' pain for a bit - then headed up to the track. Felt wasted. Need sunlight.

Resurrected an old friend... Pig Farm Trail Wednesday. Headed out for a nice lunch time run under the sun! Felt old and sluggish, but was NICE. Buffalo is going to hurt next week - way out of shape.

Well... Hit the gYm this AM for another session on the rollers. Needed to get something in...

Awesome HUMR nation run this AM. Headed up from the TH just north of the canyon. Went out fivish and turned it around. Trail in perfect condition. Watched helplessly as Aric took a dive into the boulders... OUCH. Also ran into the mysterious Bryce - He is alive!

Good times.

Early tM o' doom run in the basement. Wanting to keep the legs somewhat loose this week.. YeeHaw.

Early gYm time on the rollers. Ended up doing my normal tM routine. Fair to partly cloudy today. Peace YO.

Just to remind the legs they need to work tomorrow!! Good luck Buffalo runners..

Buffal Run 2013! in the books. Man what a cold windy race. I had three goals going into this race. 1. Beat last years time 2. Run all the ups 3. Try and keep Gdocs humility in check. I accomplished 2 out of the 3, so all in all a very good time out on the island.

The start was very COLD and WINDY. Decided to try and find a rhythm up the grinder (first three miles) so, wasn't pushing the pace to much. Hit the top and was sweating like a madman - pulled off the hat and wind jacket here. Got into a good pace heading into the climb up lone tree - this was the first real test to accomplish goal 2 so, put the head down and ran the entire section up to the aid station, passed about 15 or so hiking up the climb, felt good! First time I've done that in all my trips to the island.. rolled down the west side and Climb challenge #2 came.. Made it all the way up the west side - felt great breathing was easy and relaxed - NO HORSEs this year - Perfect! Put the tunes on just past the Aid about 5 miles left at this point - tried turning it up a notch to catch Gdoc, but never saw that named man, a known man, they say. So, his Pride lives on! Beat my time from last year by a couple minutes and ran all those blasted climbs. Ya Baby!!

Three recovery miles on the mill over looking the Las Vegas strip... Perfect place to recover from the Buffalo Run!! Legs a little tight, but overall feel great.

Another morning roller session looking over the strip in Vegas. Just the right amount of wrong.

Lunch time Pig Farm run. Weather is absolutely beautiful! Felt aight avg around 8:30's. Not to fast not to slow... almost just right... Ferro Maljinn...

Sweet BST north from Rainbows with Matt. Ran into Shane on the way back. Legs felt aight. Upper trail out-n-back. Peace.

Beautiful morning grinder up from Wind Surfer beach to Rocky point with Gdoc. Three miles up.. three miles down. Felt liberating.. so, nice.  Will need to add this climb into my weekly routine.
