Solo climb of Mt. Wire.

It was cold and windy at the trailhead this morning, but I quickly warmed up as I made my way up the trail. My goal was not speed today, just give my legs some elevation. My legs are 100% and felt great the whole morning, but my toes are still a touch sore. I now have 3 black toe nails (both big toes and a pinky) and one of my big toes is still slightly sore. As I started to gain the ridge I could see a headlamp above me which is rare at this time of morning and I didn't see any cars at the trailhead, so I was a little surprised. Could it be MattVS?

I made decent time up the mountain, but I wasn't fast reaching the summit in 49 minutesĀ and change. The person that was ahead of me was just off the summit and checking something out and I could hear the bugle of an elk, so I took off my ipod and watched the sun come up while listening to a bull elk bugle, stomp around and grunt. I could hear the cow calling him in and he would get really excited and let out a loud bugle and then I would hear the trees and brush crunching. It was very cool and they were only a few hundred feet away. After about 5 minutes the guy (with very pretty hair) left and I stuck around for about 5 more minutes listening to the elk. Wow! It was pretty awesome.

The descent was very slow to go easy on my toe. It might have been the slowest descent of the year, but that's ok. I had a great morning.

I went out for a run on the street after the kids went to bed. I put on The Smiths on my ipod and just started running. I ended up doing my 2 mile neighborhood loop twice. The back half has a nice long hill and I actually look forward to it. The bad news- Although my legs feel good and are not sore at all, they felt very heavy while running and I can tell they are not fully recovered from Wasatch. I'm not really sure what that means for my marathon (St. George) next week. Hopefully they will come around.

Solo Mt. Wire.

I started at 6:00 am. There was a cold wind and I started running from the start. After a few minutes I passed two girls that had started before me. I wanted to push the pace where I could and I ran just about everything that is not really steep. I only stopped a few times to pee and shoot snot rockets and I made it to the top in 43 minutes. Not my fastest time, but 6 minutes better than my effort on Tues. I was also much faster running down because my feet are finally feeling much better. I still have one toe that is slightly numb, but I hear that is normal after running a 100, so no worries.

Double up Umph Umph!

Lunch run up Wire. My legs were feeling so good that I wanted to get back out, so I did another run up Wire. 44 min up. It was very hot and I thought my lunch was going to make a guest starring appearance about half way up, so I wasn't as fast as I wanted to be. I spent about 2 seconds on top. No shirt and perfect weather. 1:15 RT.

weights at the gym for 75 minutes working my upper body and core. I had a really good session. I wanted to run this morning, but when I woke up I had some soreness in my foot above my ankle, so I decided to get in a good lifting session instead.
