Better Than Yesterday

Went up to Lambert. Did a few loops. The trails that I went on were High Bench, Spring, Middle, Ruin, and Corkscrew. I've decided that High Bench is the prettiest trail at the park. Unfortunately, it's probably the most trafficked as well. I've realized that I need to get more than just my lungs in better shape, my legs have a long way to go as well. 

I work from 12-8 on Wednesdays, so I was able to run this morning. The temperature was perfect, in the high 50's. It rained for a little bit, which felt amazing. Went out to Art Dye. Good times. 

Ran to the mouth of the canyon, then up to the start of the wall, then did mountain run backwards. I did about 2/3 of the trail before turing around. I had forgotten how much I love that trial. Sometime next week I will probably do the loop from legacy. On the way down the dirt road by the canyon I was turing a bit too fast and started to land weird on my ankle. This moment kind of happened in slow motion haha. I picked that foot up so I wouldn't roll my ankle. I ended uop falling down and getting a fair amount of scratches on my leg, but I will take that over a bad rolled anke any day. It was quite warm out, even though the sun was set for 3/4 of my run. During the last few minutes of my run I saw some lightning down by Orem. 

Ran up to Horsetail falls and back. I've realized in the past week that my legs have a long way to go, so I decided to get a good hill workout in. There were masses of people at the beginning, even though it was just after 7am. Thankfully, within a half mile we were almost by ourselves. We had the falls all to ourselves, which was suprising but I enjoyed. There was about three times the amount of water in the falls from what I'm used to, but I guess I should expect that in late spring.
