Rhett

AM. Core. Lower body. 
 

PM. 5 miles, easy effort. 
108 degrees. Focused on engaging glutes. It really made a difference in how powerful my strife felt, and my time was faster than I have been in n a while with what felt like the same amount of effort. 

AM. Core. Swim-20 minutes. 
 

PM. Went up the mountain in Kingman after work and ran a trail to Hayden's Peak. It peaked at 8147 feet. It was 3.5 miles up and an 1870 foot climb. It was beautiful at the top. The run was really fun through trees and mostly runnable. 

AM.  After a 9 hour drive to Telluride yesterday we were anxious to get out and see this beautiful area. Doone and I walked over to the Bear Creek Trail and hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls. Is it me or does everywhere have a Bridal Veil Falls? We then headed back down and went on a small unmarked trail I had read about the takes you to Little Hawaii. It was really cool bothe visually and the water was freezing. It was worth the side jaunt. Total hike if you include walking there and back was over 6 miles 

PM. After lunch Doone headed out shopping and I went on a trail mountain running adventure. I rode the Gondola up to about 11000 feet then started my run which was 3.3 miles up and maxed out about 12730 feet. I was way above the tree line and that was as high as I could go without have to rock climb. I then ran all the way back down to Telluride which sits at 8750 feet. Total run was a bit over 9 miles. I then sat by the river and soaked my feet. That water is ice cold. My feet were numb quickly. It felt great. The views from the top of the mountain were incredible. I'm glad I did it. 
 

15 mile today. I'm going to sleep well tonight. 

AM. Morning hike with Doone. We first hiked up to Cornet Creek Falls and then did a loop trail that went up the mountain above Telluride. It was a total of 5 miles with about 2000 feet climbing. 
 

PM. After lunch we road bikes along the river trail for a while. Doone was fried by then so she went up the mountain on the Gondola and read while I headed out for a trail running adventure. I ran up Emogene Pass for 5 miles. It was a 2900 foot climb maxing out at 11500 feet. Then I ran back down for a total of 10 miles. 
 

It will be interesting to see if I have anything left in my legs tomorrow. 

AM. 7 mile hike with Doone. 1200 ft elevation gain 

PM. 7 mile run on some very fun runnable trails through aspen trees. 1360 feet elevation gain.
