hiked/ran to the summit of Perkins Peak. We started in East Canyon and went over several 'bumps' on the ridge, including Dale Peak and ended up on Perkins, whick overlooks the SL Valley. Beautiful day, but a total bushwhack!! About 1/3 of the hike was through scrub oak. With Jun, Enoch and Matt Van Horn.

Hiked/ran to the top of Mahogany Mountain with Matthew Van Horn above Alpine (9,001 ft). The first few miles is a good trail, but the last 2 are a total bushwhack! It was steep getting up to the ridge. Lots of snow on top and the views of Utah Valley and Timp were stunning! 4,500 feet of elevation fain and 9 miles. Fun day.

Did 6 miles on the elliptical before I went to bed. I doubt it was actually 6 miles, but that is what the machine said :-) Went for 45 min.

Lifted at the gym for 40 minutes (chest, lats, core) and then I had a nice run on the track for about 25 minutes. Did 3 miles, but went too fast because I didn't want this guy to pass me :-) He passed me three times and I didn't want him to do it again.

Played soccer for two hours with my friends and had an excellent workout. I'm not exactly sure how many miles I ran, but I know it was at least two at a very fast pace.

Had a nice 3 mile run/hike to the top of Red Butte Peak above the University of Utah. The weather was perfect, although it did start to drizzle near the summit. My partner almost stepped on a rattlesnake on the way down. This is a fun and adventurous hike with 1,500 feet of elevation gain.

Went out for a run last night with the intention of doing 5-6 miles, but the weather was perfect and after 6 I was feeling great, so I kept going. Did 11 miles which I think is the longest I have ever run. My time was 1:45, but I wasn’t trying to go fast at all. I am excited though because I felt like I could have kept going for 3-4 more miles. It was a perfect night.

Weight day. I only got 30 minutes at the gym because I was busy hanging ceiling fans and my sis-in-law went into labor, so we had to go pick up her kids. Busy day. Did upper body and worked hard for 30 minutes. Cardio rest day.

Did 30 minutes on the elliptical while I watched "Rachel Getting Married". The show was ok, but the workout was great. I pushed hard and worked up a nice sweat.

Went out for a 4 mile run. I wanted to push and see how fast I could do it, but I didn't want to push too hard, so the first mile I took it easy, but fast. Mile two really picked up and then mile three I was going hard most of the way. I did hit a bit of a wall on the up hill portion of mile 4, but I pushed through it and ended up doing 4 miles in 32 minutes. I felt great, although my right calf was getting sore. I probably didn't stretch enough.

Climbed the north peak of Timpanogos via the Cold Fusion couloir. What an amazing route this was. The approach was 5 miles and then the chute was 3,000 verticle feet straight up on consolidated snow and it took about 3 hours to get to the summit. The views from the top were outstanding. We had a nice glissade down, although it was a little scary. It was hard to keep the slide controlled because it was so steep, but nothing too dangerous. Total elevation gain for the day was 4,800 ft.What a day!

My friend just added a trip report for the hike:

Did the Beatout hike today that included 4 Wasatch summits, 13 miles and 5,000 feet of elevation gain. This was an incredible hike, run, scramble and climb. It took us 11 hours and was a lot of fun.

After 25 miles in the mountains and over 10K elevation gain in the last few days I needed something easy on the legs, so I did 30 minutes on the elliptical.
