Summit junkie!

4 slow recovery miles. There was still some soreness in my quads and IT bands. 

3 easy miles around the hood. No big woop. 

Weights at the gym (upper body/core) for 50 minutes. 

Spin class again. Sweat-fest. 

Sloppy slog up Lake Mountain with Jun:

Jun and I got up early this morning (3:30ish) so that we could do a double of Lake Mountain. We met at 4:45 and were running up the trail just after 5 am. It was warm. After about 1.3 we hit our first patch of mud and we continued through it off and on with slush mixed in for the next mile. It was a sloppy mess. The last few miles to the top were on soft slushy snow and it was tough to get a quick pace, but it was a really good workout. 

We took a new route to the summit and on top it was pretty windy, so I didn't want to stay up there long. We post-holed back down to the road where I took a gel and then we had a SLOW run all the way back down to the dry trail. We still had a great time chatting the whole time and I'm glad we got out, but we scrapped the idea for a double because of the crappy conditions.

I tried to beat the storm so I got out and ran on the roads in Highland/Alpine/American Fork. It was breezy when I started, but not too bad. I ran north into Highland and eventually made my way to the Apline Hwy where I kept going north. The wind picked up and I even felt some sprinkles, but nothing that serious. When I hot to Kohlers I turned left and went west on the Timp Hwy. I had some great tunes and really picked up the pace. I was running mostly about an 8:30ish pace, but once in a while I would go into the 7's when I got a good song.

At 6000 W. I went south back towards my house. I had to pee and saw a POP in a new housing development, but kept running and figured it wasn't worth it because the wind was now blowing really hard and I just wanted to get back home. The wind was very strong at times and slowed me up some, but it was fun. 

I finished in 58 minutes.
