Total Distance

3.00

I woke up early this morning to lift at the gym. It was pretty crowded in there, but I had a great workout. I worked on my chest, arms, shoulders and lats. I felt like I could keep going for a while, but I needed to get into work, so I only lifted for 35 minutes.

I'll be climbing View Benchmark (high point south of Draper) later in the day. I'm not expecting it to be very difficult, but I think the views will be great and I am looking forward to it. If the weather holds I'll be climbing Wire/Red Butte again tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone.

**PM update**

Did View Benchmark after work. It took about an hour, and was really fun with excellent views. There was some deep snow near the summit, but nothing serious. FUN!

3 miles and 700 ft elevation gain.

Sounds like a beautiful climb. WOW, you averaged over 200 ft climb per mile! AWESOME!

Hey Smooth- Today we went up about 1,000 feet per mile. It was a great workout for sure. :)

Kelli- I LOVE summits of any kind, and cold and snow usually don't bother me much. Today the wind was terrible though, and for a few minutes there I might have agreed with you. :)

Take the cold, the snow, add the wind....yeah, does not sound fun to me. BUT I am glad you love it, just don't blow away up there. COME ON SPRING ALREADY!
