Highland loop solo:

I left the house with the weather calm and the temperature warm. About two miles in the wind picked up and when I hit the Murdock Canal trail a huge limb was ripped from a tree and landed a few feet off of the trail about 20 yards in front of me. I fought the strong wind all the way to 6000 W. and then went south to get out of it.

The Wedge overlook at the San Rafael Swell group run:

This is the third year in a row that we have done this run. Two years ago it was just me, MattW, CraigL and MVH, but today we had 18 awesome folks with us to tackle the Wedge. The trail conditions were nearly perfect and the temps were mild.

We ran in a large group to the aid stop at mile 9 and then Jennilyn and Craig put some distance on everyone else. I ran from that point to mile 27 with Chris Pope, Trent P. and MattW. We had a really good time telling stories and talking about ultra running. I felt great all day. My legs were strong and my energy excellent.

At mile 27 Jennilyn was laying on the side of the trail not feeling well. She has been suffering with some stomach flu for a few days and it caught up with her. She is one tough cookie, so I knew she must be feeling like crap. I gave her a Tylenol which seemed to help and Matt and I walked with her for about a mile until she felt better. We ran it in taking a short cut that ended up cutting off a few miles, but that was ok with all of us. At the finish we had a BBQ and hung out as the rest of the crew came in. It was an excellent adventure.

Booty bootcamp with Kristina:

Kristina was hit with the H1N1 virus and has been knocked out pretty hard for 2-3 weeks and this was her first time back at the gym. She was sluggish, but pushed through like a champ. We worked arms, legs and core and also did several rounds of sprints. My legs were a bit sore, but warmed up nicely.

Draper/Corner Canyon trails with Jennilyn, Craig and Jacob:

Excellent run this morning with a fun crew. The temps were cool at first, but after a few minutes I felt great the rest of the run. The trails were mostly dry (except going up Ghost Falls) and it was fun running on some dirt. That's almost 40 miles of dirt this week. Awesome.

PM: Weights at the gym for 45 minutes working my upper bod/core and booty boot camp with Kristina after working core, arms and sprints.

Ave Twins from the Capitol with CraigL, MattW, LeslieH and ZacM.

We had a really fun run up to the Twins. It was cool and breezy to start, but after a few minutes I felt really good the rest of the way. The sun is definitely coming up earlier and it was the first time this year we weren't using headlamps up to the summits. We held a really good pace on the way down.

PM: Back to City Creek Canyon with MattW and ZacM. We ran 3 miles up the canyon on the trail and then back on the road. It was so nice out and we were all in shorts and t-shirts. I was pretty depleted at the finish.
