Wednesday - Ride at Corner Canyon. Was supposed to be with Joseph, but I got there before him by a few minutes and started up so he wouldn't have to wait for me, and then when he started up the trail his chain broke. So then he went back home and I finished the ride. Ann's and Ghost Falls. I looked up and noticed the beauty around me today (when my music lost connection and I could hear the brook and the wind. It brought me to the present moment. My thoughts at the end of this post. Look up!)

Thursday - active rest when I took the kids to the mall and to Costco.

Friday - started a ride up LCC with Corey, got up three miles and then my derailleur broke when I was switching gears, it caught in my spokes and got messed up. Luckily the wheels still turned and I was able to turn around and coast down. Did some stretching while I watched the river, then coasted most of the rest of the way home.

Monday - Armstrong to Dawns this morning! And then again tonight with Corey and Joseph, yay!

Friday - Armstrong and HAM, in a light rain and in the dark for the whole lower Spiro which was not fun. Plus I had to go slower in the dark cause I couldn't see. 8.63 miles, 1272 feet elevation, 1 hour 40 min (took me 30 min to get out the door cause I was going back and forth on if I wanted to go without gloves. I came back for them once and twice and found them the third time.  I love Ham to Spiro though, I want to do that with someone, it's so pretty!

Saturday - lots of active rest, headed home from our fun week at Park City

Thursday - We have family in town (my awesome little bro and his wife and kiddos) and since all my big kids are gone and we've been busy with family, I have not done any exercise really. No biking or gym anyway. We did do a light hike today at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo. It was crazy hot, so yay I broke a sweat. 

Friday - Another light hike with Grant and his family, at Lisa Falls. 

Saturday - Nada. Grant left around 10 this morning, Corey and kids are on their way back, but prob won't be here until after 2 am. So no gym, but we did do a lot of housework today, so we'll count that as active rest. I'm ready to have a fun week biking at Park City next week.

Monday - I was going to try and go to Corner Canyon early this morning, I even bought a bottle on Saturday, and I was dressed and ready to go this morning at 5:45 but I stopped and looked at my baby and I didn't want to leave her for that long. Corner Canyon will be there next year, but my newborn Kathy won't.
