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.

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.

Tuesday - Bouldering at Sandy Momentum at 6, after the temple at 5 am. 38 minutes: 
  • 1 V5 attempt
  • 2 V3 sends
  • 2 V3 attempts
  • 3 V2 sends 
  • 3 V2 attempt
  • 7 V1 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%!

Apr 7 - 12

Monday - walk to Crystal Cove this morning at 6:10. 2.52 miles, and again this evening to watch the sunset, 2.35 miles. (Walked there yesterday too, 2.94 miles.)

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.
