Nov 27 - Dec 2

Monday - handstands, 25 min stretching, aaaaand today we got a Momentum family pass, so I went climbing at 10pm! So fun, I was like giddy. Couldn't do too much, but it was great to be back. Total of 20:

Thursday - Corey's iliacus stretcher thing arrived today, I used that on my iliacus and psoas muscles, total of 20 min. 

Friday - Climbing this morning with Wes, yay! I sent FOUR V2s! First one was a Yellow one on the south boulder. Wes said Corey did it in two attempts, so I had to do it. I was able to do it first try, yay! Then next was a Blue V2 that had nice jug holds, that I attempted last time but my hands were spent, I knew I could do it if I started fresh, and I was able to do that first try today, woo! Then there was a purple V2 right next to that one that I did next, was feeling pretty good after all those. Then I did some V1s and V0s, ended with a V2 on the north boulder. I tried but was too shaky, Wes did it, told me I had to, and then I shook out my arms and went fast and was able to do it. There's a purple and black in the OG sector that I'm going to try first time next time when I'm fresh. I love climbing! Wes showing off in the OG sector, hanging upside down!

This was a black V3. Both of us kept saying our hands were done, but then we'd try one more. 

Total today was 22:

• 1 V3 attempt
• 4 V2 sends (blue 45 wall, purple 55 cave, purple north, yellow south)

Monday - Walk at sunset (a little jogging), 2.95 miles, 5,582 steps. 

Tuesday - Fish Tail ride, 5.64 miles in 27 minutes. I didn't beat any of my previous times... so that was a little sad cause I was pushing hard. My throat has been sore from how hard I was breathing. I did 30 minutes of splits stretching after the ride. And that might be the last ride of the season. We took off Corey's rack from his car, temperatures will be cold this next week. Headed up to Park City tonight after Hyrum gets here.

Wednesday - At Park City. Did a few laps of swimming in the pool this morning, front stroke, back stroke, side strokes, etc. Felt good to stretch.

My goal is to take my silver bike and beat that this week. He also got a PR for the fastest section at 3:27. 

Wednesday - Going to rain tomorrow, so I knew I had to get out today. Took a ride by myself in corner Canyon, had to hurry and beat the sunset. I did Canyon Hollow, Brocks, Rush, the Trees, Rush the End 2x. Total 6.6 miles, 56 minutes. 5 achievements

Wednesday - 3:15 bike ride just me, Corey started a ride around 4. It was 40 degrees (cold!) but it was good. Some snow at the top of the trail but I was able to do techy! I just did quarry up but not to the ruins, but I did do techy twice. 11.44 miles, 1 hour 32 min. On the techy loop I got a 2nd best time of 7:16.

Oct 30 - Nov 4

Monday - 100 second hollow and superman with Wes, and I did two chin ups (barely). Finished a daily gallon of water at 3:15pm. Going to see if drinking a gallon a day helps with weight loss or with my body feeling better. 

Tuesday - It's been too cold for us to take morning bike rides this past week, and Corey is feeling very not good, so we had to go today. We left at 3:30 and were able to do a pre-Halloween ride like we did last year. Felt great to be in the mountain, but it was super cold!!! I got 4 achievements:    

Wednesday - Sophi came home sick today, threw up at school (she ate a candy bar for breakfast...) sooo, since I had a sitter, I went for a quick ride at 2, since I knew I wasn't going to be able to do an evening ride (Owen had a dentist appt to get a cavity fixed at 4). Went to Corner Canyon for an hour, Did Rush, then Canyon Hollow, and Rush down and an extra Rush lap, 7.31 miles, 1 hour 3 min, 15 achievements (I did lower Rush 3 times, got a PR of 59 seconds! 59 seconds my first go down, then 1:02, then 59 again. I was glad I broke a minute!) I don't know where the other sections are that I got achievements for, except for Silica Pit and Rush, I did that in 4:50! Previous records was 5:01 on 7/15/23. Corey did Quarry today and made it to the top in less than an hour! 

He got 12 achievements, 8 of them PRs, 7 of those PRs on the climb! 

Thursday - Ride with Corey at 1:00 today to the Ruins, we did techy too. My legs were tired just coming up the hill from our house. I was not feeling it today. Corey got his 2nd fastest time on the climb at 1:02, I was 1:07 to the top. He waited for me a few times and I walked a few times, but I lifted his bike at the top, mine is a lot heavier (aluminum) his is carbon fiber. We might let me upgrade sometime. Corey teased "Just get your bike stolen!" Wes watched the kids for us, total distance 11.70 miles, 1:31:34 for me, no achievements on the climb, but today was the most fun I've had on the descent! I got a PR for the fastest section alive - 3:53 (I broke 4 min!) I wasn't scared today, I picked good lines and it wasn't crazy bumpy, just fun and fast. I took a selfie of us via BeReal but it didn't save and now I'm sad. That happens a lot tho, so I think I'm done with trying to use that app to capture moments. It doesn't work half the time.

Friday - 100 seconds hollow and 100 seconds superman with Wes

Saturday - Ride to ruins and back with Corey at 4:30, 11.39 miles, 1:24:53. I was feeling great today. PR for Fastest section again! 3:50! Also PR for the Lower half at 6:02, Pow Plant down PR 1:56 (finally broke 2 min) PR for Quarry up and down with techy 6.41 miles in 1:11. And PR for the whole downhill 3.6 miles 15:53. Got 3rd fastest time for 1st bridge to top (37:11) and 3rd bridge to top (14:41) Techy section 2nd fastest time 3:22

Oct 23 - 28

Monday - Feeling sore from the mountain climbers on Saturday. Didn't do on a ride cause I had a dentist appt this morning. Might try and go later after I get back from violin. I always hate eating after a dental cleaning and getting my teeth dirty, so I ate breakfast and then haven't eaten yet. Might wait until tomorrow. Feeling good

Tuesday - Ride with Corey up the canyon to the ruins. PR for Techy and 3rd fastest time for Fastest section alive. Around 4 today I also did twenty minutes of splits stretching - 10 min each side - while I read the Book of Mormon (love to multi-task doing good stuff like that!) And one 80 second handstand against the wall.

Wednesday - Cold weather coming tomorrow, should have gone out today but didn't make it. Only did a 90 second handstand

Thursday - It was snowing this morning! Today did shoulder stretches with a broom stick

Friday - 20 minutes of splits stretching. I started to get dressed at 4 for a ride, but then decided it was too cold. Maybe tomorrow evening I'll feel brave enough

Saturday - Still super cold outside. Did one chin up today and some stretching and handstands. I hope we can join Momentum again soon.

Oct 16 - 21

Monday - Corey rode the quarry trail this morning, I went out to Corner Canyon around 4:30. I took my silver bike (guys cutting down the tree had the bottom door blocked off with the tree debris). I took BST up to Anns, then Anns over to Edelweiss, around to Ghost, down ghost and Rush. 7.27 miles, 58.09 minutes. And with my silver bike I was able to beat all my times on Ann's from this year and last year. Gold medal (emoji!)

I got PRs for:

• Coyote Trailhead to Clarks Bridge .15 in 1:30
• Clarks/BST intersect to Potato Hill Climb 1.01 mi 9:33
• Clark's Bridge to BST Split .52 mi 4:54
• Potato Hill UH from BST Intersect .48 in 4:42
• Last 2 Turns til the tunnel .32 3:18
• Half Ann 1.32 miles 11:15
• Ann's Grunter .23 mi in 2:18

No PRs on Ghost falls, cause I was too busy taking in the scenery. That ride cannot be rushed.

It seemed like there were valentine hearts tossed all over the floor with love!

Pink and orange and yellow and green.

I love Ghost Falls

Tuesday - 30 minutes of stretching. This evening we hiked Y mountain for the lighting of the Y with our college kids tonight for BYU Homecoming! 

Steep trail, about a mile up and a mile back down (forgot to turn on my strava). The kids all did great! Peter was sad in the pic above cause he left his spiderman lego in the car. Hard climb on the way up, hard on the knees on the descent!

Wednesday - Ruins and back with Corey. 11.3 miles according to Corey's strava, mine says 11.21. PR for techy section at 3:39. Corey got a pr too for techy, 3.29. He was behind me and we were right with each other, so I'm not sure how that works. Splits stretching. Emotional Health - had a breakdown today that came up all of a sudden when Owen couldn't find his straw for trumpet (that his teacher just barely gave him) so I was frustrated mostly, I think, with the mess of our home and how things always get lost or no one puts them away where they belong.

Thursday - 20 handstands, 10 minutes of splits stretching

Friday - splits stretching

Saturday - This morning 500 mountain climbers, splits stretching, and then around 2:00 Corey and I went to Corner Canyon, did Anns, Edelweiss, and Rush with the Trees. 7.75 miles in 1 hour 1 min. Corey got PRs on everything on the climb! I got lots of 17 achievements, PRs on the descent. The full Rush via Trees time was a PR at 15:42.

• Rus top 2/3 - 10:49
• Scheming weasel - 4:33
• Trees - 5:37
• Fly by night to Rush 3:05
• Full Lower Rush - 9:48
• Mystic Rhythms - 3:58
• Sustained Speed - 1:15
• Rushing Corners Two - 1:42
• Chainless Rush - 3:45
• Rush the End - 28 seconds

Silver bike = good times on the climb. Fezzari = good times on the descent (if I'm feeling brave!)
