For Labor Day, Benjamin and I hiked Mount Timpanogos up to the 9800 feet elevation level before we had to turn back to make it in time for an afternoon barbeque.  We went up the Timpanooke trail, which was absolutely gorgeous.  I was really pleased that Ben could do so well and we have resolved to get to the top next year.  I had some pain in my shins, but otherwise, no pain of any consequence.

8.2 miles in 1:16:35 at a 9:20 pace, consistently increasing with each mile.  First mile took 10:39 and last fraction was at an 8:29 pace.  Woke up several times in the night and finally got up at 4:00.  Everybody including me has colds today.

4.61 miles in 56:01 or 12:09/mile with average heart rate of 126bpm, max 123bpm.  The main reason I kept my heart rate low was because I was so wiped out.
