Summit junkie!

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

I went to the gym to lift after the kids went to bed and I ended up working out with some guys in my neighborhood that lift on Monday nights. We had a great session (working biceps, triceps and chest). I also did several sets of pull-ups since it seems to be all the rage around here lately.

when I got home I stretched and rolled out my ITB.

7 on the TM while watching the Jazz/Warriors game. Today was very busy. My wife is working on a major project for school, and my kids were very demanding tonight. I'm lucky I was able to sneak in what I did on the TM.  These were all nice and easy miles 9:15 pace. I had a good groove and felt like I could have run all night. I just ran out of time.

I also stretched and rolled my ITB again. I am very sore from lifting yesterday, and I think I need to work out with my friends more because their workouts tend to be a little more intense than mine. I'm feeling it.

I had the weirdest dream last night that I was running the Salt Lake Marathon with some friends. The aid stations were all houses in my parents neighborhood, and they were being run by people that live in my current neighborhood. At one of the aid stops they were out of GU so I went searching around on the ground trying to find one that wasn't opened. I finally found one that was open but full, so I ate it. Ha. I also got lost at one point (why am I thinking about Eagle Mountain?) and the race director found me and gave me a map of the course. I finally got back on the right route and found my friends. We only had two miles to go and we were all tired and then... my alarm went off.

Hit the trail this morning with Jun while all of you were still in bed (4:30 AM). Okay, maybe some of you were up, but I did get up at 3:30 which still seems so wrong.

It was a perfect morning. We did the Mt. Wire/Red Butte run/hike for the 4th time this year. Yeah, it is that good. It was warm and we had a fun time talking all the way up Wire, and made it to the summit in 54 minutes.

After a brief break we ran over to Red Butte where we did run into some snow. There was a hard crust and we did punch through quite a few times, so it was a little slow and tedious. Once on the Red Butte ridge it was a fun run up to the summit. The run down is pretty technical, but once we hit the saddle we cruised at a nice pace back to the car.

Great Day!

I got up early this morning to lift at the gym. I was really tired and sluggish and it was hard to get going. I stayed about 50 minutes and ended up having a decent workout, but I am still trying to recover from waking up at 3:30 AM yesterday.

This was one of the busiest weekends I have ever had. My wife has an end of term project due for school today (Monday) and we ended up doing a few projects that we weren't planning, so the day just got away from us. I was busy running from one project to the next.

I did manage to sneak in 4 TM miles. I just couldn't bring myself to run on the road.
