Summit junkie!

Highland Alpine loop with add on:

I did the same loop as yesterday, but added on an extra two at the end. I felt better out there and felt like I was running faster, but hit mile 7 only a minute faster then yesterday. The weather was about as good as it gets.

Weights at the gym for an hour. Great session working my upper body/core.

View Benchmark the long way with Craig:

Craig was doing a 20 miler from his house up to VB via Ann's and then down Canyon Hollow and back, so I decided to join him for a chunk of that. I met him in Draper and we ran up to the lower connector trail that goes up to Ann's off of Vintage View. From there we ran the 'regular' route up to the peak. The leaves just aren't as good as last week, but the temps and trail were just about perfect and it was a great run. We ran back down to the VB trailhead and from there Craig took the Eagle Crest trail and I went back down Ann's.

The run down was tougher than it should have been. My energy was very low and I really needed some food, so it was a bit of a slog, but I grinded it out. Overall this was a really fun run. I needed it.

Craig running down on the VB trail:

Did the Insanity class at the gym. I was the only guy there. It was insane.

Good circuit workout at home with Kristina. Worked upper body, legs and core.

View Benchmark solo:

After work I hit Ann's trail for a nice cruise up VB. The air was crisp and I had the place to myself. I felt really good and pushed a good pace up and back.
