Nov 11 - 16

Monday - Weather was 60 today, and forecast says there will be snow tomorrow. So... we took another "last ride" today. 15.68 miles, 1781 elevation gain. Took us 2 hours 10 minutes. We did a repeat of our Saturday ride, parking a bit before the tollbooth, riding up to the Rattlesnake Gulch trailhead, up the switchbacks to the Pipeline trail. Today we took it west to the peak at the beginning of the canyon, then turned around and rode it all the way east until we got to the elbow! It was a serious climb. Here we are at the elbow, with sunset upon us, and so we've just got 10-20 minutes to make it back to the car before dark. Luckily that's pretty easy via the road.

Let's keep it under 30 mph, allright? I was surprised to see the road was not plowed. We were riding in a winter wonderland! We were glad the trail e climbed up on the north side of the mountain wasn't snow covered like this. But it felt kinda hardcore, so it was fun. We didn't slip and slide. 

And when we got to Maple Grove where a winter gate was blocking off the road to cars. Ah ha. So I learned that this is the Millcreek Canyon Nordic Track in the winter. Fun! Someday maybe we'll get fat bikes and do winter riding around here.

Tuesday - one pull up, overate. Feeling bloated and not good

Wednesday - 4:40 pm walk, 3.64 miles, 1 hour 14 min. 20 handstands against wall, 10 left 10 right, and 25 minutes of stretching, some warrior tai chi movement

Thursday - Walk at 9:40 while K was at a friend's house, 3.35 miles, 1 hour

Friday - Walk around the neighborhood this morning at 7:30, 2.46 miles in 42 minutes. Then a walk with Natalie down to the grocery store after she got home from school, 1:30 pm, 3.17 miles, 1 hour 4 min. 2 dead hang chin ups. Fasted for neighbor and her little baby boy who had open heart surgery at 2 days old. 

Saturday - 8 am I was out shoveling a lot of snow before Abi had to leave for GMS, and then they said their class would be on zoom. It's all right, we got it done, but I wasn't planning on getting all sweaty doing that. Across the street they hardly have any, it's not fair. Went out to eat with Corey last night, then started a fast again for our neighbor and her baby.
