Warm up on the elliptical and then did 3.7 on the TM. I just wanted to stretch my legs and work out some slight soreness and it helped.

Monday- Weights. Upper body/core for an hour. I slightly strained an ab muscle doing 'skull-crushers' with a heavy dumbbell. It wasn't serious, but I stopped working my core after that.

7 on the TM after I put the kids in bed. I started out at a nice 9:30 pace for the first mile, then did one at 9:00 and settled into an 8:35 pace the rest of the way. Everything feels good.

90 minutes of basketball with guys from my work. It was like playing church-ball without refs, really physical and a lot of fouls. I usually like the physical play, but it was really annoying yesterday and I came away with a sore heel and I tweaked my back as well.

Solo climb of Mt. Wire this morning. Those were some tough miles. I started out just before 6:00 am. It was warmer than usual, but there was a pretty good breeze, so I wore my hat and fleece vest. The lower trail was melted out, so I ran all the way to just before the ridge, and from there the snow just got deeper and sloppier the higher I went. When I made it to the first saddle I knew I was in trouble when I sank to my knee. I was following some tracks, and that helped a bit, but it was much slower than normal.

When I reached the second saddle the foot tracks were gone and the only thing left were some snow shoe tracks that were better than nothing, but I was still post-holing the entire way up. It seemed like it took forever to slog up to the summit ridge. I was sinking to my knees with almost every step. It got old fast, but I was so close to the top, so I kept going up. I reached the top in a slow 1:14, which is the slowest climb of the year on Wire.

The descent was just as bad and slow and I was sinking even more as it had warmed up a lot since I started. I couldn't run much until I got past the last saddle. From there I ran the rest of the way in. My total time was 1:55. 2200 ft. vert.

Today I wanted to do a lunchtime run on the Jordan River Parkway in Lehi. I had never been on the trail before and decided to start at the flight park, so I could get in 20+ miles. The weather was nice, but windy.

I felt good the entire time and settled in at a comfortable 8:20-8:40 pace. At times I would drop below 8 and then others creep up toward 9, so I just tried to do what felt good. I didn't want to push too hard because I wanted a lot of miles. I ended up having to cut the run short, but that's ok I still had an unbelievable day and I will probably get back out there tomorrow to do my long mile run.

The trail is absolutely incredible and I will definitely be back when I want to get in some miles on the pavement.

I had a sweet run on the JRP in Lehi this morning, starting from the flight park again. I felt really good and it was so relaxing to crank the ipod and run. Usually I like running with someone, but today I thoroughly enjoyed every mile by myself.  A little after 5 the trail was closed and ripped up, so I stopped had a gel and then turned around and ran back to the car. There were a lot of people out this morning and the weather was perfect.

Back at the car I took a break to drink some Gatorade, take a gel and an S-cap, and then I ran almost back to where I had before, but because of the time I had to turn around and get home. Everything felt really good. I ran an 8:30 pace for about the first 11 miles and after that I just tried to keep it under 9, although the last few miles I lost a bit of steam. So fun. Total time 2:44.
