Summit junkie!

AM: Grandeur Peak attempt with Jennilyn. We met at the West Ridge trailhead. It dumped several inches of fresh snow on the trail and it was a total SLOG! There was no track and the snow was a very fine powder, so I slipped a lot and it was very tedious work. At about 1:20 we still had at least 30-40 minutes to the summit and we were out of time, so we cruised back to Einstein's for warm drinks and bagels.

PM: Weights at the gym for an hour. Really solid workout. This was my best session in the last few months. I was totally worked.

Booty bootcamp at the gym with Kristina:

I ran sprints and ladders and my foot felt ok in the new Altra Olympus. Also worked my core.

Mt. Wire with Jennilyn and MattW:

It had been snowing earlier in the day, but when we hit the trail the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. There was fresh snow on the trail, but unlike Grandeur on Monday it was heavy and packed in really well, so it wasn't a big deal. We had a really fun time laughing and climbing all the way up. We went down the hollow and it was a total mess in there. Mud, slush and running water. Sloppy! We had fun though and laughed a lot. I slipped several times and Matt and J-lyn really enjoyed the variety of expletives flying from my mouth. This was one of those runs that makes you smile for a while.

Mt. Wire with ZacM, Craig and MattW:

Fun early morning before work. Met the fellas at the zoo and we had a really fun run/hike up to the summit. Lower on the Mt is was breezy and quite cold, but as we ascended it warmed up. Excellent sunrise. Went down the hollow. It was much better than yesterday.
