4 miles on the Tahoe Rim Trail at almost 8000 feet.  Since I live at 500 feet I really felt it in my lungs.  My calf did great though!  I did take a spill out there this morning and came back all bloodied.  It looked pretty nasty, but after showering and getting cleaned up it's not nearly as bad as it looked.  

6 miles on a different section of the Tahoe Rim Trail than I ran yesterday.  The first 3 miles where mostly up a fairly steep grade and took me just over 28 minutes then I turned around and ran the 3 miles back in just under 21 minutes.  It was fairly technical running with big rocks and downed trees to big to jump over so I would jump up on it with on step then off the other side with the next step.  It was really fun but at the same time a little scary especially after my painful wipeout yesterday.  Calf felt a bit better today than yesterday.  

After a couple days of trail running I decided that give my calf a rest and I rode the stationary bike for an hour with a tabata thrown in.  We did something me kayaking and hiking today as well. 

My calf felt good after the rest day yesterday and I was excited that hit the Tahoe Rim Trail this morning.  I'm not sure what happened, but about a half mile into thee run my calf tightened up so much immediately stopped and walked back and went to the fitness center at our resort.  20 minutes on stationary bike. 30 minutes elliptical. Looks like I want nt be doing any more running this week.  :(

45 minutes deep water running while the kids swam.

After a day seeing Yosemite Park, we stayed the night in Mamoth Lakes.  I figured I should take advantage of one last high altitude workout and went to the fitness center around 9:30. Cade and Lane wanted to join me.  They were hillarious using the treadmills, elliptical and stationary bike.  I wish I could pipe into some of their energy.  I did 20 minutes on the stationary bike and 20 minutes on the elliptical.  Then I had to convince them it was time to go.  The were still giving it their all at that point. I can't believe they lasted that long.
