Nov 18 - 23

Monday - I fasted on Friday for my neighbor's baby, up until date night, then started again. Did a full fast Saturday and Sunday, only drank a little bit of lemon water at the end of the day. So this morning I just went on a slow walk, and hallelujah I also reached my weight goal. They are hoping to know more about the baby in the next 48 hours, so I'm going to try to keep fasting most of the day, might have one meal, but haven't had it yet (as of 8 am)

Tuesday - 6:30 am did a 20 minute/1.02 mile walk on treadmill (did one jog for a few and one 50 second fast as the treadmill will go sprint) and then 3 laps around the block 1.12 miles in 19 min (jogged a little there too)

Nov 11 - 16

Monday - Weather was 60 today, and forecast says there will be snow tomorrow. So... we took another "last ride" today. 15.68 miles, 1781 elevation gain. Took us 2 hours 10 minutes. We did a repeat of our Saturday ride, parking a bit before the tollbooth, riding up to the Rattlesnake Gulch trailhead, up the switchbacks to the Pipeline trail. Today we took it west to the peak at the beginning of the canyon, then turned around and rode it all the way east until we got to the elbow! It was a serious climb. Here we are at the elbow, with sunset upon us, and so we've just got 10-20 minutes to make it back to the car before dark. Luckily that's pretty easy via the road.

Let's keep it under 30 mph, allright? I was surprised to see the road was not plowed. We were riding in a winter wonderland! We were glad the trail e climbed up on the north side of the mountain wasn't snow covered like this. But it felt kinda hardcore, so it was fun. We didn't slip and slide. 

And when we got to Maple Grove where a winter gate was blocking off the road to cars. Ah ha. So I learned that this is the Millcreek Canyon Nordic Track in the winter. Fun! Someday maybe we'll get fat bikes and do winter riding around here.

Tuesday - one pull up, overate. Feeling bloated and not good

Wednesday - 4:40 pm walk, 3.64 miles, 1 hour 14 min. 20 handstands against wall, 10 left 10 right, and 25 minutes of stretching, some warrior tai chi movement

Thursday - Walk at 9:40 while K was at a friend's house, 3.35 miles, 1 hour

Friday - Walk around the neighborhood this morning at 7:30, 2.46 miles in 42 minutes. Then a walk with Natalie down to the grocery store after she got home from school, 1:30 pm, 3.17 miles, 1 hour 4 min. 2 dead hang chin ups. Fasted for neighbor and her little baby boy who had open heart surgery at 2 days old. 

Saturday - 8 am I was out shoveling a lot of snow before Abi had to leave for GMS, and then they said their class would be on zoom. It's all right, we got it done, but I wasn't planning on getting all sweaty doing that. Across the street they hardly have any, it's not fair. Went out to eat with Corey last night, then started a fast again for our neighbor and her baby. 

Nov 4 - 9

Monday - chin up, pull up, handstands

Tuesday - Lily stayed home from school feeling unwell, so after I got the kids off to school, I left her with K and went on a walk. It was nice. 4.5 miles, 1 hour 32 min

Wednesday - chin up, pull up, hang, 20 handstands, one for 70 seconds

Thursday - morning walk to Sunrise Point at 7:30, had to hurry to get home to wake up the boys. 2.35 miles, 33 minutes

Friday - chin up and pull up, I can still do one

Saturday - Temp was in the low 50s so Corey and I went on a ride, started 3:45 up Millcreek Canyon to the Rattlesnake Trailhead and up to Pipeline from there. My first time doing that climb, 20 switchbacks! Then a flat ride alone pipeline, muddy in places but overall not bad. 10.37 miles, 1 hour 32 minutes

Oct 28 - Nov 2

Monday - 4pm Ride to ruins after Natalie got home. Will prob be the only ride this week, might be the last one of the season? Home > ruins > Techy > Trailhead. I rode from home, Corey met me at the trailhead. 1 hour 30 min, 9.29 miles, also did 20 min stretching at the trailhead while I waited for him. At home: 1 chin up, 1 pull up

Tuesday - nada. Storm came in last night, it's cold.

Wednesday - 20 handstands in the morning (make up for nothing yesterday) 2 wheels, 1 pull up, 1 chin up, 20 handstands in the evening. Need to find the key to the treadmill!

Thursday - Walk to school for kids halloween parade. Quick ride on the quarry trail as far as I could go before snow stopped me. Not deep, just made the trail too slick. Went a little bit past the 1st bridge. Rode silver bike cause I was hoping to get an achievement on the climb. No such luck. 6.96 miles, 43 minutes

Friday - handstands, chin up, pull up

Saturday - walk around the neighborhood pushing K in stroller. 2.5 miles in 52 minutes. Started a fast today. Ate one fruit leather and 3 apples then started fast for Fast Sunday tomorrow.

Oct 21 - 26

Monday - Corey took a lunchtime ride up LCC, I drove Owen up to meet him on his descent. Daniel, Peter and Katharine and I did a little nature walk at 2:30, over a mile. Then at 5:30 I did a ride from Grit Mill to Ruins then Techy. 5.81 miles, 1 hour 22 seconds. Next time I'll try to do it in less than an hour. 

Tuesday - Home > Ruins > Techy 2x > 1/2 fishtail. 14.05 miles, 1 hour 53 min

Wednesday - Canyon Hollow and Rush, 6.04 miles, 55 minutes

Thursday - Walked to my parents house, pushing Katharine in the stroller. 4.49 miles, 1 hour 17 min. Plus 3 laps walking around the block in the AM

Friday - Ride up the canyon after Natalie got home. Home to Techy 3x then back home. 12.23 miles, 1 hour 47 min. Then took a long cold shower (had to wash my hair, brrr!) And look at this video Corey sent me this morning, woot woot!

He sent it to the college kids too and told them "Looks like Tiffanie is right to fast a lot" Yesss! I'm crossing my fingers that this leads to a little less of the culture of eating around here. We can focus on relationships and activities, there doesn't ALWAYS have to be food involved.

Saturday - We're getting down to the last weekends of riding. Hyrum and Mel were both home today, so we took a long ride. 3 hours 7 minutes, drove to Millcreek canyon, parked at Alexander Basin Trailhead, then rode up to Dog Lake > Desolation Lake > Red pine Rim > Wasatch Crest North > Great Western Trail > Big Water back to the car. 16.11 miles, 2906 feet. The climb up to Desolation lake is a black and it was brutal. I could barely do it walking my bike, my thighs were burning so bad. It was a great ride though. 

Pic at the top on Wasatch Crest - 

Red Pine Rim - really cool looking into Park City!

Corey took a pic of me doing a lap around Desolation Lake. I'm that little vertical line in the sunlight.

Oct 14 - 19

Monday - Walk from my parents house to our home. 4.5 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes, almost 10k steps!

Tuesday - 9:30 hike with Stephani up Fergueson Canyon to the viewpoint. 3.93 miles, 1532 elevation gain, took 2 hours 28 minutes. I had accidentally left Katharine's backpack carrier in the van, which Abi had at school, so I carried K on my back or shoulders for basically the whole hike. 

After 1 hour 40 minutes we were finally at the top!

It was a cool morning in the shade of the canyon, but I was sweaty (see back of my neck) and I kept thinking K wet herself, but it was just my sweaty hands on her seat. It was a good workout and we'll see where I'm sore tomorrow. I love K's little squished sleepy face. She was literally snoring.

4pm ride with Corey from the Quarry trailhead, up to ruins. 6.7 miles, 1 hour 7 min. Then walk to and back from the stake center for my resilience class. Abt .90 each way, 20 minutes each

Wednesday - 5.07 mile walk from home to the Temple Quarry Trailhead and around the path there twice, pushing K in stroller. She took a nap, I didn't bring headphones so I was alone with my thoughts. 1 hour 41 minutes. Forecast shows rain and cold temps this weekend

Thursday - Walk in the rain to Bells Canyon across the bridge and around the reservoir. I left Owen in charge, he did good. 4.39 miles, 1 hour 30 min. 2 chin ups, hang

Friday - 1 pull up, 2 chin ups. 20 handstands, 9 with left leg forward, on 10 I held it as long as I could, got 82 seconds. Then 9 with right leg forward, on #10 I got 42 seconds.

Saturday - Morning stretching. Short hike at 1:15, checking out how wet the quarry trail was after the rain the past 2 days. 1 mile in 25 minutes. Then went home to get Owen to ride with Corey. After seeing them off, I explored a bit more - 2.07 miles in 1 hour. Then went home and got my bike, home to ruins, techy and back home - 11.56 miles 1 hour 34 minutes. 6:30 pm: 1 chin up, 1 pull up

Oct 7 - 12

Monday - 10am 4 mile walk with Katharine in a stroller. 1 hour 18 min.

Tuesday - 10 am 3.82 mile walk to park and back home with K in backpack, didn't love it. Took a few passes on the monkey bars at the park to help my shoulders recover! 

Then 6pm hike up the Y for the lighting of the Y for homecoming, carried K half of the way up, all the way down, 2.34 miles, 42 min to get up 1.17 miles, 35 min walk down, all the kids did super great.

Wednesday - Feeling sore from yesterday, so just a walk today - 5:50 went on the quarry trail, from Grit Mill to the end of techy and back, left too late so was in the dark, I'll remember a flashlight for next time. 4.84 miles 1 hour 41 minutes

Thursday - ALSN don't have school, so left K with them and went on a ride in CC, 9am - My thighs are still toast from Tuesday night so kinda let myself just take it easy. Did Ann's and Rush, 6.10 miles, 52 min. Only one achievement - Bronze on boosting corners at 49 seconds (PR 48 seconds) Most of my times are within seconds of each my PRs, so I think I'm pretty consistent with my speed on a lot of the segments.

Then PM walk when Corey took boys on a ride, I was their shuttle driver, dropped them off at Carolina Hills, went to Cycle park to park, then walked up to see where I'd meet them. 1.3 miles in 25 minutes. Then they kept going along Porter Rockwell trail, I walked back to car, parked at Draper City Park, walked until I met them again..47 miles that time, 8 minutes. 

Then 8:15 pm walk around the block 3x via inner sidewalk (walked barefoot) 1.17 miles in 24 minutes

Friday - Man, I'm still sore from Tuesday night. Cause I was carrying K in the backpack? I guess an extra 30 lbs could do that to me. Ride with Corey from Trailhead to Ruins, Abi got the boys out the door, so that was nice. We were the first and only car in the parking lot when we started at 7, sunrise at 7:34. 6.67 miles, 1 hour 11 min

Saturday - Ride on Pipeline with CMNOPK. Kids were a bit mopey (N&O - they wanted to go to grandpas to watch the BYU game). 2.4 miles, 38 minutes. 

While Corey was at Wayne's, I drove up to Park City for a ride up Armstrong, HAM, and down Seldom Seen. 7.47 miles in 1 hour 13 min, it was beautiful (still some yellows), I listened to General Conference on the climb, tunes on the descent. 

11pm - just did 3 chin ups, starting from a dead hang, and doing all of them from a total hang! I did 3! I didn't know I still had that in me! I've kept my upper body strength from climbing better this time than I did last year after our summer break. Excited to start climbing again, hopefully in a few weeks!
