Temperature was so perfect today so I wanted to get out again, 5:50pm ride from home to ruins, techy, and dirty sprint/half fish tail. Strava didn't start until 1st bridge, so strava says 9.89 miles and 1 hour 10 min, but I think actually 12 miles, 1 hour 40 min.

This time I stopped shortly after a spot that was right on the ridge, where I could see both canyons! LCC on my north, and Bells Canyon on my south. Looking west at the top where I crossed to see both sides. It was fun.

Came back down via the north slope trail stairs. 

Back at home, I mowed the lawn.

Jun 16 - 21

Monday - In St. George, on our way to pick up Abi from Las Vegas (on her way home after 3 weeks in Brazil). Corey and I rode Wire Mesa this morning (at first our plan was to go to Little Creek, but the road was too sketchy for the mini van)... 7.05 miles (Corey got 7.11) 1 hour 20 min (Corey got 1:17). We got up early before the hot temps made us retreat. Left St. George at 6 for on hour drive to Hurricane, on the trail at 7am. 

Tuesday - We slept in this morning so we didn't do Zen, we just decided to head back home. Arrived at 12:40. I did a ride up the canyon at 3:20 and a little bit in the neighborhoods: 13.05 miles, 1 hour 42 minutes. I got up to the top in 1:05:49. I was pushing at the end to try and get it under 1:05, just missed it. PR for 3rd bridge to top: 13:05! I did great on Techy too - I got it all AND with that I also got a PR - 2:32!

Thursday - Ride up the canyon at 7:52. You have to go fast to beat the sun setting. I didn't take any exploring paths and made it to the top from home in 1:02! 11.42 miles in 1 hour 27 min total, 3rd place PR for 3rd bridge to top at 13:18

Saturday - I decided to go for a run this morning at 6:30. Total 3.16 miles in 35 min. 4 min walk warm up to the road, then went downhill first to try and get some momentum for feeling like I'm a runner. I didn't stop to walk at all during the 2 mile loop, which was my only goal. Strava says I got a lot of PRs - 400 meters in 1:47, .5 mile in 3:39, 1 K in 4:36, 1 mile in 8:04, 2 mile in 17:24, 5K in 35:57, all were PRs (cause I have not gone running in 3+ years, aka since I started using Strava). I already feel a stress fracture in my right foot. We'll see how it is tomorrow. 

Jun 2 - 7

Monday - Bouldering at Millcreek after taking Lily in for drivers ed at 7. I did 30 but it was pretty pathetic. After a few failed sends, I tried lots of V4s and V3s that I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do. I wanted to go on a morning ride but didn't think I'd get back in time to leave at 6:45 am. Lily is going to see if she can switch to the 9am class. That would be better for our biking goals for these next three weeks. Also did a 3 min 49 second center plank!

Tuesday - Ann's and Rush with Corey. 6.87 miles, 1 hour 2 min. We ran into a good high school friend at the beginning of our ride, Mike. He and Corey were in the same ward for a while growing up, and we did summer street hockey together back in the day. Corey and him were able to catch up as we rode along Anns. It was fun to hear them visit. Mike and his wife coach one of Alta's mountain biking teams. 

He said we kept a good pace and could be coaches! Haha, maybe we can get Owen and Daniel into biking and coach them in high school? Or maybe it's not too late for Natalie and Sophi? Pretty sure we've missed the chance with Lily and Abi.

Did a double header when Nicole called as she was on a walk, so I went on a ride from 3-4:45 pm up to the ruins. 11.36 miles. Talked to Nicole for like 40 min, then listened to this Mindy Pelz on youtube and started a water fast. Started fasting at noon.

Wednesday - Temple session this morning with Corey. Bouldering at Ft Union with Lily at 1:30 pm, 39 minutes, 20 total, 4 attempts and 16 sent:

Friday - Walk and hike this morning. 4.21 miles, 1 hour 58 minutes. It started off as a walk, but then I had to go to the bathroom, and the Bells Canyon bathroom was closest, so I went there, then decided to explored the right lateral moraine of the LCC glacier and find where the trail that I was lost on last time started (Apr 16). I didn't find where it started, but I did get on it again and found where it connected to a different new trail down the north slope! It was really steep, but whoever made it dug into the trail to make dirt stairs down a lot of it, so it was really good! I think I'll go there again cause it was a pretty fun way up to get to the top of the moraine. 

Bouldering at Millcreek with Lily after drivers ed until she ripped her callous, I did a total of 15, 10 sent, 5 V3 attempts

Listening to Diary of a CEO episode with Mindy Pelz, planning to fast today, and I put her book "Fast like a girl" on hold at the library. Finished that DOAC episode, then ordered her book, I'm going to want it. Took lots of notes. Also listened to this one when I ran to Costco. I got hemp seeds, and I did do a water fast (plus apple cider vinegar) today, then ate a big salad with spring mix, saurkraut, avocado, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, califlower, and beets. Began a new fast after that. Also... I should have started my cycle this past Monday. I'm going to take a Ptest in the morning.

Sunday - I didn't set an alarm, but I woke up on my own (God woke me up), and I laid there for a min, then looked at the clock to see what time it was, and guess what it said? 4:28!!! I saw it and smiled and thought "Yay, God loves me! He's going to give it to me! (another baby)" as I got up. But then I thought "Well, maybe he's telling me he loves me even though he's not giving me what I want..." I went in and took the test, and it is positive! Due Jan 12, so I'll plan to be induced at 39 weeks, Jan 5th. God willing that everything goes well and I don't miscarry or have any other "advanced maternal age" problems until then (I just turned 49 and will be 49 when I deliver). I don't think anyone reads this blog, so if you do happen to see this, feel free to enter a comment. Corey doesn't want to tell people yet, but I might have a hard time keeping it in.

Friday - Grit mill to Lisa and back, 4.6 miles, 48 minutes

Saturday - Out to Corner Canyon! Ann's and Rush, did the end 2x. They made big jumps on the end of Rush now, which I had to slow down to go over since I don't know how to go jumps. 7.58 miles, 1 hour 8 min. When I was on my way home, I saw that Corey had just left for a ride, so I went to say hi, but he totally took a trail that went right past where I was waiting, so then I decided to try and catch him to say hi, then I rode with him ("I'll just go to the 1st bridge. ... ok I'll do avalanche hill. ...I'll go until 3rd bridge, ok I'll go until Techy"), from the trailhead to Techy, 6.18 miles, ALSO 1 hour 8 min, haha. I did a double header.

Apr 21 - 26

Monday - Bouldering with Lily this morning (we got her a two week pass).

I did 24 total: 17 sends, 7 attempts. Then a ride to the ruins with Corey around 4:30. I got a flat on the descent. I rode it slowly on the road, then walked from the church. I got the first rock pile on Techy, and almost got the second. 

Tuesday - parked at Lisa Falls, did a hike up the little Cottonwood Trail, 2.16 miles, 55 minutes

Wednesday - bouldering at 8 PM, did 30, 24 sends, 6 attempts

Thursday - Lily wanted to go to Momentum, I couldn’t do anything because I went last night, so I just walked on the treadmill for 1.5 miles, 27 minutes, two week attempts at V2s, my hands were worthless

Friday - Ride to Sunridge Peak, located at the north end of the Jordanelle Reservoir in Park City, Utah. I really liked it! 

Back at Hideout, my sisters tried to be a pic of me on the mountain. 

I'm in this pic somewhere, but I'm just a speck.

So I road from our AirBnB to Deer Flow Trail, then took Milky way up and Big Dipper down. 11.07 miles, 1 hour 54 minutes, 1495 elevation.

Saturday - Ride on some new trails (for me) in Park City. Was going to go with Corey, but as we started he noticed his shocks were leaking fluid, so then he went back to the room. I left and did Free mason, Lost Prospector, Fox Tail, and Lynx. It felt a lot like Ann's in corner canyon, I really liked it!

Apr 14 - 19

Monday - Home > Ruins > Techy > Home

11.25 miles, 1 hour 55 min. Still snow in a few spots, but that's ok cause I don't mind walking it now and then.

• 1 V5 attempt
• 2 V3 sends

Then I went on a bike ride again too! Home > Ruins > Techy > Home. 11.30 miles. 1 hour 51 minutes. I mostly wanted to check the status of snow on the trail. 1 hour 51 min. I was able to ride some of it on the decent at the top, and most all of it down. I even got across the water above the 3rd bridge, and the techy connector at the 3rd bridge, and the 3rd bridge pipe!

Wednesday - Hike up Bells. Did a bit too much exploring in uncharted territory and was praying not to run into any wild animals (mountain lions). I was glad when I found a trail. 

I followed it and thought it would connect to the Bells trail, but nope... just kept going up and up. I wanted to turn around but didn't want to go the way I came. Came across two wind chimes and a christmas tree...

and then found a whole hut...

I still couldn't find a trail across the creek, so I eventually just took a chance. Huffed it over tree logs, through bushes, and over snow. 

Was glad when I saw a hiker going down, I knew I was close... Glad to finally get on Bells. 

Then I went to the top of a moraine, and was late getting home, the girls were late for YW, my bad. I was glad my phone didn't die. I got to 3%!

Tuesday - Walking around Six Flags amusement park all day.

Wednesday - 6:13 am walk to beach. 3.9 miles, 1 hour 28 min.

Thursday - Woke up at 4:45, knew the moon would be setting at 5:15 am, so hurried and got ready. Started 4:55 and ran down to the beach to see it. Had a good view from higher up...

But it was hidden by the marine layer. Still enjoyed walking around the beach in the dark and seeing the sky light up all morning. 

6.03 miles, 2 hours 9 minutes. I got a "congratulations" for my longest walk on Strava

I think tomorrow I might try to see the moon set again tomorrow.... Tomorrow moonset 5:41 am, sunrise 6:25. I'm also excited to try and see the full moon Saturday morning in Nevada on our way home! I lived in Arizona years ago and the full moon in the desert there was amazing <3

Friday - Got breakfast ready for everyone, then I left for a last morning walk to the beach at 8:30 while they ate and packed. Check out at 11. Found out this morning there is a short cut behind our building. I told Corey I'd be quick, but with the shortcut I felt like I earned more time at the beach. 2.52 miles, 55 minutes. Drove to Vegas

Saturday - Drive home. Unpacked, then (with sunset not until 8) Corey and I took a ride to the ruins at 5:30. Trail up to the ruins, then took the road back from Lisa's. 11 miles, 1 hour 44 min. Then I went bouldering at 9pm. 26 total, 20 sends, 6 attempts. They don't have Kaya so I have to keep track of the climbs myself. I'm starting to use shorthand. (021 = V0 V1 V2) I sent a new Orange V3 on the lit up wall. Glad I did good for not coming since last Friday.

Mar 31 - Apr 5

Monday - Millcreek bouldering after dropping off Abi and Lily at school. 50 minutes, 26 total: 17 sends and 9 attempts, 5 of the attempts were the hanging purple V2 in the OG sector. To get that one I'll need to get my palms a little tougher and probably able to bend my arms more to pull myself - the last hold on it is a far reach that I can't get by swinging myself.

Tuesday - Ft Union bouldering with my sister Beka. 

Wednesday - K is hanging out with Ethan and Bella today. 20 handstands, splits stretching while I blogged in my room.

Thursday - More sitting today, but I finished blogging July 2024! Yay. Did two 64 second handstands. It's 10 pm now. Let me try one more time and see if I can beat it... 82 seconds! That barely beat my PR of 81! I'm not sure if that is my #1 PR or just one of my PR times, but that's the longest that I can remember holding a handstand before so I think it is.

Friday - bouldering at 1pm before spending the evening driving. 50 minutes, did 28: 18 sends, 10 attempts. 2 V4 attempts were a white V4 in the OG that looks doable, just long and overhanging. I got 1/3 the way up.

Saturday - drive to Newport CA

Mar 24 - 29

Monday - bouldering this am at Ft Union. 

• 5 V0s
• 12 V1s
• 3V1 Attempts 
• 5 V2s
• 5 V2 attempts
• 6 V3 attempts
• 5 V4 attempts

I did NOT get the Red V2 in the cave. And actually when I saw it today I forgot it was a V2, not a V3. It's hard! My hands get so tired! Didn't get it today but I'll try again! It's hanging a lot, you're basically holding on upside down.

Then 3pm bike ride up the canyon. First goal was just the ruins, but I also knew I had time that I could try to keep going all the way to Snowbird, and I did.

 

Then I went a little more to Alta. 

I got my longest ride, biggest climb, biggest elevation gain (3696) and a few other achievements.

22.37 miles. Took me 2 hours 43 minutes to get to Alta.

Tuesday - Exploring Bell Canyon hike, 5.13 miles, 2 hours 15 min. Plus 210 walking lunges on the way home. It was so fun and pretty and a few spots had lovely pine smell, plus I love listening to the creek too. I love the mountains. I love where we live!

Wednesday - 6am bouldering at Ft. Union, 45 minutes, I finally got the red V2! I got it twice, woo. Also took three tries but I got the pink V2 too. This is the pink V2. It's really at an angle, and the holds aren't great, so it's pushing you out but it's hard to hold on and the foot holds are tiny too.

• Warm up Purple V0 
• green V1
• Warm up again 
• Easier red V2 
• Diff Purple V0
• tricky Blue V1
• Pink V2 (almost got it!)

This is the V0 warm up boulder 

This was the easier Red V2, I was able to get this first try a few weeks ago.

 

V0 purple on right, Pink V1 next to it, Purple V2 on the left that I dont think I got. 

this pink V2 below is impossible (some of it looks red) 

Green V2 that is hard but I was able to get today, I've gotten it a few times but it's a hard one

Blue V1 that is tricky, cause you have to throw yourself around the corner to the left to grab the blue that you can't see around the corner.

Thursday - left for a ride at 5pm, went from home to Hidden Valley, along BST, climb to Ghost Falls, then took Ghost falls down, lower rush, limelight, back up to BST, BST north back to Hidden Valley. 16.59 miles, 2 hours 37 minutes, 1888 elevation gain, 23 achievements, yay

Wednesday - 20 boulder this morning, also did the 7 min workout from yesterday again, also Core balance training for 15 min. Doing some research for Corey and myself on post Nasal drip and Corey's  heartburn/acid reflux/(I think might be Gerd now, though I had not been aware of that condition until today) - Here for chronic post nasal drip (not seasonal related) is caused by fungus/mold in the sinuses, so some remedies are: garlic, oregano oil (essential oil?) and don't feed the fungus with sugar or milk sugar

Thursday - Some dead bug (per Dr. Berg's advice, min 7:30, watched that yesterday) this morning, did 50 dead bug reps, aka extending and alternating legs and arms. 8pm did my own version of a 7 min workout, from what I could remember of the one I did the past two days. Then 50 handstands, 25 reps each leg forward. Watched this Dr. Berg video on things to suppress appetite: "Better than ozempic, stop your cravings". I've been doing avocado, apple cider vinegar, ginger, he lists about 22 things.

Seemed like it had good holds, it was just really long and some of them were far apart.

Saturday - Top rope with Corey at 8pm (after a violin recital) We had to hurry to get 8 routes done before they closed at 10. Hardest one was an orange 5.10c, really should be a d or a 5.11a, pretty impossible one in the SE corner of the south wall.

Then a winter hike from 3:40- 5:15, Parked on the side of the road at Lisa Falls, walked up to the ruins, then along the river, up techgnar and then up techy, back down to Lisa parking lot. 2.70 miles. I love the mountains.

Wednesday - Left at 4pm for ride from the Ski parking lot up to the ruins, 7.14 miles, 1 hour 25 min. I love to be in the mountains. I didn't wear toe warmers and my toes were freezing, so I guess that means they work!

• People 5.10b north side

Some stretching

Friday - Quick walk to the school pulling Katharine. They said Daniel had a fever and to come get him. I didn't have a car, so instead I got in 1.4 miles of brisk walking. 

I let K wear my coat. Then around 4 I did a hike and sled down from Lisa Falls. Abi dropped me off up there before going to a friends house, so I didn't have a car, I brought a sled though. I hiked up and walked along Techy, then hiked home. I was able to sled a few times, it was fun, but it wasn't a very good sled. Total 4.97 miles, 1 hour 30 min. 

On the Power plant down section, I decided to try head first on my tummy and I pulled and pushed myself with my arms. It was pretty good! Then just a long walk home after that. A lady named Liz saw me in the neighborhood and offered me a ride, after she also saw me on the road 30 min before.

Saturday - Climbing with Corey at Millcreek. Did 9 climbs and then 2 boulders:

• Black 5.10a
• Pink 5.10b should be D used yellow 5.10c too hello
• Blue 5.11a w help of red 5.9 and pink and yellow
• Yellow 5.10a
• Blue 5.10c
• Blue 5.10a
• Green 5.10a
• Orange 5.10c I thought we had tried this one before but I can't find record of it. I thought that last time I went up a little bit, it was too hard, so then I moved left and did the blue 5.8 right next to it. This was our last route today, Corey took lots of breaks. I had lots of time to rest so maybe that's why I was able to get it! I surprised myself! I had to yell and breathe heavy but I was able to do all of it, even get over the buttress! Corey gave me bones, he was impressed too! Then we were done, but he went to the bathroom and since I was feeling confident I tried the red V3 boulder again and I got it! 
• Red V3!
• Purple V1
