30 minutes of ab work with my ball while watching TV.

Also did 4 TM miles. 8:50 pace. I wanted to do something big this weekend, but it just didn't work out. Hopefully this week.

I went to the gym after the kids were in bed. I spent 30 minutes lifting (biceps, triceps, chest, lats). I was pretty worked after 30 minutes, so I decided to run a few miles on the track. I didn't have a lot of time, so I had to run fast to get in two. First mile was 6:55 and the second was 7:10. I was so tired after, and don't know how some of you keep up a pace like that for several miles. It just shows me how far I have to go if I ever want to be a fast runner.

I had a terrible nights sleep and woke up at 3:30 AM with a really bad stomachache, and I couldn't fall back asleep. I felt crappy al day with very little energy, and my stomach wasn't 'right' the whole day. I didn't feel like working out at all, but I made myself go do 5 on the TM. 9 min miles, and after I actually felt much better.

Went to the Jazz game tonight for work, and I ate about two days worth of food during dinner. It was a great game and a lot of fun, but by time I got home and got everyone to bed it was too late to hit the gym, so I did a 30 minute ab workout.

Climbing a peak tomorrow morning before work, so I better get to bed.

I needed to get back into the mountains, so I climbed Mount Van Cott above the U this morning before work. It was a perfect short hike and had about 1200 feet of elevation gain in about a mile and a half. This is a perfect training hike, especially if there is high avalanche danger on the higher peaks. I didn’t know where the trail was, so I went up a gulch that had a faint trail, and ended up busting my hump up to the ridge through some sugary snow. Once I was on the ridge it was quick and easy, although it was a little steep.

I got to enjoy the sunrise from the top over the Wasatch and the entire Salt Lake Valley. I can’t think of a better way to start a day.

It took me a lot of work to finally bag such a little mountain. I took my dog and kids up there on one of the hottest days in the summer of 2009. We had some bad directions, and it took us about an hour of hiking before we ended up in Cepnalopod Gulch. After about 15 minutes heading up the dog wouldn't walk anymore and the kids were crying, so we had to turn back. My kids still call this mountain Mt. Van Hot.

*** PM update: Church ball. Played a good portion of the game and my calves were sore by the end. Fun workout and no injuries.

I got up early this morning to lift at the gym. Lifted (upper body) for 35 minutes and then I did a mile on the TM because my calves were still sore and I wanted to loosen them up.

Had a very busy day and didn't get out into the moutnains for a trail run like I had hoped. I was able to find some time for 10 on the TM. Total time 1:24. Not speedy, but it was a great workout and I was dripping with sweat when I was done.
