Tapering. I am following the exact same taper that I did last year getting ready for Wasatch100. VB is the perfect run/peak to do 5 days out. Just enough to keep your legs and body fresh, but not enough to do any harm. I went slow, but steady and just cranked the tunes and enjoyed the early morning run. I hit the summit and stayed longer than normal enjoying the views. I mostly thought about Wasatch. I'm totally psyched to do it again and feel like I should improve by several hours over last year, but you never know what is going to happen out there. The forecast is for 95 degrees down in the valley. From what I understand that would be the hottest day for Wasatch in history and might have a big impact on the times this year, but we will see. I wish I couls start today. This week is going to be tough waiting.

| | Weights at the gym for an hour working my upper body and core. I was weak. Probably had something to do with the 100 miler.

| | Booty boot camp at the gym with Kristina. We had a solid hour of cardio and weights. I ran some, but my calf/knee was still pretty sore.

| | Booty boot camp with Kristina. I ran more than on Tuesday, but there is still significant soreness in my calf/knee from where I was cramping at Wasatch. I won't likely run for at least a week. My body can use the rest.

| | View Benchmark Peak with Craig:
From Vintage View Dr. on Ann's trail. This was my first real run in 15 days. Wow. My calf/knee was still sore until just a few days ago, so I decided to take two full weeks off from running other than a light jog last week. I'm sure my legs needed the rest, but it was really hard to take the time off. I did get in some good cross training, but there is nothing like getting out on the trails, so today I tested everything out on a sweet morning run up to VB with Craig.
We had a blast. Great conversation all the way up and I ran about 99% of it. I just hiked a bit on the steepest section near the top. My calf/knee felt great the whole way and I actually felt good the entire run. I was a bit worried that I would bonk out there, but everything felt smooth and good. Life is good and finally back to normal.

| | Box Elder Peak with Craig and Je10:
Box Elder has been on my to-do list for about 15 years now. I can see the dang thing from my backyard and I can't believe it has taken me so long to get it done, but we did it this morning and I can finally check it off my list, but I will definitely go back again.
We met early this morning hoping to beat the storm and other than some really cold wind we did. The run up was really enjoyable. We did have a run in with some angry hunters with guns that were mad that we were talking in the mountains. Hmm. No need to argue with armed rednecks, so we smiled, apologized and kept moving up. A few minutes later we had the best sunrise of the year. Unreal! The summit ridge was very steep. We werent really on a trail and ended up going straight up the west face. Steep! It was really windy, so we didn't stay long, but the views from the top were some of the best I have seen in the Wasatch. It was a really sweet view of Timp to the south.
The run down was also a total blast. The fall colors are out in full force. I heard some elk bugle and really enjoyed the trail. There really isn't a better way to start the day. Great friends and a ton of fun.

I really needed to get back out onto the trails, so I hit up VB for a nice morning run. I put on some sweet eighties music in my ipod and got into a really good zone. The Fall colors were impressive and in one section the reds on the maples were incredible, almost electric. I didn't have a lot of time today so I pushed it pretty well. I ran the entire way up and when I hit the summit I didn't even stop to take in the views. Everything felt great on the way down and I had a nice cruise.
