Monday - Park City to HAM, 11.22 miles, 1613 elevation, 1 hour 51 min, 6 achievements, splits stretching for 30 minutes.

Tuesday - Epic ride this morning with Corey and his friend Eric. 

We left the Park City Summit Watch hotel and rode over the mountain to Corey's Dad's house, so Park City to Holladay via Armstrong, Midmountain, Pinecone, then Wasatch Crest and Pipeline. 32.65 miles, 4 hours 51 minutes moving time (6:04 elapsed time). My longest ride and most elevation packed ride ever. 44 achievements, Park City to Crest in 2 hours 51 min, previous time (8/29/24) was 2 hours 13 min to the top. We were glad to find some snow still on Pinecone and at the beginning of Crest. 

We were able to refill our water bottles and had nice slushy cold water for the rest of the way down. Wildflowers were beautiful as well. 

We left Park City at 6:44 am and arrived in Holladay at 12:45

Wednesday - 30 handstands against wall, some stretching, 5 jump pullups

Thursday - Exploring Bell Canyon with Mel. Mel's strava said it was 6.19 miles, 2 hours 15min. Mine said 1 hour 29 minutes and 3.46 miles. So I'm a bit confused... I did about the same hike on Tues March 25 except I walked from home (instead of driving to the trailhead) and that hike was 5.13, so I think her strava is off... Mine cut out for a little bit so I don't think mine is correct, but I didn't miss 2.5 miles of the hike... weird.

Bouldering with Lily in Millcreek at 3:45 (She was with her friend Ben the whole time), 1 hour 18 min, Total 42 - 28 sent and 14 attempts:

5 V4 attempts

4 V2 attempts

16 V1 sent

4 V0 sent

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. I got all of techy and set new PR there at 2:58, yay (previous record 3:01)

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).

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.

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

Saturday - Ruins and techy with Corey, 11.23 miles, 1 hour 43 min. 1526 elevation gain.

After 3rd bridge I turned to hurry back to the car so I could wake up the boys on time for their 2nd to last day of school. I was feeling fit and felt like I was making good time on my jog, until I tripped at 11 min, then I walked the last 8 min to the car. Hurt my left knee cap the worst, next is right hip, then right knee. Ouch. No more trail running. Held a 3:33 min plank in my closet, oh yeah
