 Hiked to the summit of Frary Peak (the highest point on Antelope Island) and it was a perfect way to start the week. This has to be one of the most scenic hikes in the state and it is remarkable that this kind of environment is so close to the Wasatch front and hardly gets any notice.  It definitely doesn’t feel like anything else I have been on in the area and the views and scenery were incredible. I did this hike with Kristina and we took our time taking photos, watching buffalo, and takin’ in the views.  Incredible vistas on top and I think one of the best views anywhere.  I’ll be back again and again.

Cardio rest day. I went to the gym and lifted (upper body) for 45 minutes. I was feeling a litle sluggish and my legs were stiff, so I decided to give them a break.

This was a CRAZY day and I didn't even have time to think about working out until 11:00 PM. By that time I was very cranky and decided to do an hour on the elliptical and after I did I felt much better.

I went for a run tonight and I just wasn’t feeling it at all. I was sluggish from the beginning and I could never really find my rhythm and I kept waiting to start feeling better, but it just never happened. On mile 4 I started to feel a little better, but I was still sluggish and I really picked up my pace, but it wasn’t anything great. Total time was 43 minutes.

Had an incredible day hiking up Broads Fork and on the Cottonwood Ridge. We had planned on hiking across the entire Cottonwood Ridge, but after we reached the first summit (Broads Fork East Twin) thick black storm clouds started to roll in, so we decided the entire ridge traverse was probably out. We ascended via the Robinsons Variation, which was a fun alternative to the standard route up the Twins. It was quite challenging with a lot of loose wet scree and we had to climb through some sketchy cliffs to get onto the ridge. I think I found a cougar or bobcat den, although the cat was nowhere to be found. It did smell horribly like animal urine though.

The ridge heading up to the first twin is exposed in places and required some fun scrambling with only a few difficult sections. The ridge from the West twin back to the saddle does have one section of cliffs that we had to descent and although the climbing was easy it was severely exposed.

After arriving at the base of Sunrise Peak the clouds had not blown off at all, so we decided to have a nice glissade that cut off about 1000 feet of the descent. It was a fun day with over 5,000 feet of elevation gain and took us just over 9 hours.
