I did 5 on the TM to burn off the 3 cinnamon rolls I ate for breakfast.

2.6 more with my kids wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt. What a great day out there.

I hit the gym to lift for almost an hour and had a really goood workout. The regular peeps were not there, so I really worked it hard. No one to BS with and that was probably good. The super excited dude from a few weeks ago was there, but I tried not to look his way. Sick!

I had a really fun morning climbing/running Mt. Wire with Matt V. The weather forecast was calling for wind, so we both started out with more clothes than we needed. I wore a wind stopper hat, vest and gloves, and probably didn't need them. There was a guy that started about 5 minutes before us, and that is the first person I have seen this year climbing the peak not in our group.

Matt said he wasn't feeling great, so we took it slow. We had a fast hike, but no running on the lower portion. We stopped at .8 for Matt's 'one mile break' and I watched the guy ahead of us as he climbed up the ridge. I had wanted to see if we could catch him, but with the break it wouldn't be possible, as he had a pretty good lead on us.

The rest of the hike was really fun. The wind never really picked up until we were higher on the mountain. It was quite warm and I felt great the whole way. The trail was dry for all but the final push, where there was actually quite a bit of ice on the trail. We passed the guy coming down just below the towers and then we hit the summit in 56:00. It was much colder on top and the wind picked up, so we didn't stay too long.

We ran the whole way down, but had to take care going down the icy section. I slipped once and almost fell on my butt (thought about you Kelli), but I was able to catch myself. We took the long way down and had a really fun run, although it was slower than normal. Total time 1:30.

I ran 6 on the TM while watching basketball. I wasn't feeling great for the first 3-4, but I finally started feeling really good and wanted to do more, but couldn't because of time. I also did 20 minutes of core/ab work on my ball.

Weights at the gym. Focused mostly on shoulders, biceps and lats. Spent a lot of time on the pull up bar. Mr. Excitement was there again texting, but this time he wore jeans, which was a vast improvement over the tight sweats.

Antelope Island run this morning with Jun, Dorsimus and Adam (Julie's hub). We met Dorsimus in Kaysville, and I dropped my car at the 7-11, where I forgot to lock it. I have a lot of gear in the back, so I was worried about it the rest of the morning. Luckily it was ok when we returned.

Then we went and picked up Adam on our way to the island and he and I got to cuddle in the back, and we barely met. It wasn't by choice, but I enjoyed it none-the-less (ok kidding). There wasn't much room back there.

We did an out and back that is part of the 50 mile race. The weather was cold, but great for running. For the first 4 miles we all hung together chatting, and then Jun and Dorsimus put a bit of distance between us. Adam and I talked the rest of the way to the turnaround and the time flew by. Jun and Dorsimus were not too far ahead until we stopped to take a gel at mile 8.4. We got to the turnaround a few minutes after the other guys and after another gel and a bathroom break we headed back to the start.

I got a little stiff after our break and it took me a few miles to shake off the rust. By then the other guys had left me behind. At about 16-17 my legs did get sore and I wasn't able to push as fast as I wanted, but I did run every step of the trail except when I stopped to take a gel, which I did again at mile 18. The last 3.5 were hard. My legs were tired, but cardio wise I still felt really good. It was really fun listening to my music and checking out the incredible scenery, which included buffalo, antelope, a few coyotes and a falcon.

The last hill was a killer and it didn't help that it had now become muddy. I did hike a bit here, but only for a few yards. What a fun run. I can't wait to do the 50K next month.

I took my kids to the pool at the gym and I decided to walk a few laps on the track. My legs were feeling so good that I figured I might as well get in a good workout on the elliptical, so I hit it for 35 minutes. My legs are a touch sore, but the workout really helped.
