I'll be doing a short run and lifting session later in the day. I have been taking it easy this week in order to rest my legs for a long run in the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming this Friday. MattVD and I are planning on running to the summit of Gannett Peak (highest peak in Wyoming). Gannett is usually a 4-5 day backpack covering about 45 miles with over 10K in elevation gain. The summit is guarded by 7 glaciers and the scenery is unmatched in the lower 48 IMO. Matt has been dealing with some foot issues, so hopefully that won't be a problem. The challenge for this peak will be running with climbing gear. We will have to carry backpacks, so that will be a slight pain, but we are going as light as possible.

That sounds awesome. I'm assuming you're taking the Bonney Pass - Gooseneck Glacier route? This will be a heck of a ultrarun / mountaineering linkup! Good luck!!!

That's correct. Thanks! Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

You forgot to mention the Tights Club.

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Aug 03, 2011 at 18:36:41 from 66.239.250.209

Yes, we will be in our tights. Gonna be some sexy on that trail.

Lily- You're probably right. :)

allie- FUN!!! You might have to find some rock or ice though. No bushes at almost 14,000 feet. :) No bush!

a better place to hide and scare them would be the bergschrund on gooseneck! allie, you'll probably need to look up "bergschrund"

Hilarious Allie!

Really wish I could make that one with you Scott! Would not be in the tights club however. Enjoy it, I'm sure it will be a good adventure.

Can't wait to hear about your adventure up there! I'm with Bryce though, definitely no tights here.
