Summit junkie!

Ave Twin Peaks solo:

I had an excellent run to the Ave Twins from I Street. It was pretty warm out and when I got above the inversion it was hot. I could have easily been in shorts and a t-shirt up there. I really enjoyed running in the sun and I wore my ipod for the first time in quite some time on the trails. I just cranked the tunes and enjoyed the run. Peak #101.

PM: Weights at the gym for an hour with Kristina. I had a really good session and worked out with one of my friends to mix in some new material. I was pretty wrecked.

Lake Mountain with Je10 and Jack:

There was a pretty big group running Lake Mountain, but some of us had to work, so Je10 and I showed up and just as we were about to leave a car pulled in and we met Jack who would join us. He was doing a double, so he wasn't interested in going fast, but we hung out together for the first few miles and then Je10 and I dropped him and cruised up to the summit. It was a perfect morning and I really enjoyed hitting the top in the dark. We had a nice cruise on the way down and Je10 pushed a really good pace and we just chatted away until we ran into the 7:00 AM group going up. We stopped to talk with Neasts and Sam for a few and then ran it in. This was the last peak of the year (#102) and the perfect way to end 2013.

Ave Twin Peaks with MattW:

First summit in 2014 and we picked a fantastic day to be above the cruddy inversion. We put it in cruise control most of the way and just enjoyed good conversation and some laughs. I did hit some solid ice and took a spill about a mile in and landed on my hip hard, but nothing serious. On top we spent more time than usual taking in the views and enjoying the warm temps. It was incredible up there today.
