Wednesday - 6:54 hike at Lisa, 1 hour 40 min of exploring. 2+ miles (strava didn't record the first hour). A squirrel was telling me to please leave. I discovered a new land on the other side of techy! 

Well, I guess someone else already discovered it (they started to build a cabin)

Tried to mark the trail where I can enter and cross the creek - at the top of ruins, end of the climb before the last stretch to the ruins. 

Thursday - 2pm - some LeoMoves stuff at home - 10 reps of each of these:

4:15 Weight lifting at the gym. Two rounds of this - https://youtube.com/shorts/5iVN1tRwW0c?is=rqYkxXBm6IMbd0XO for my 1st round I used a 26 lbs kettlebell, 2nd round 35 woo! Then Halos w/17lbs 10 each side, Then Bottoms up presses, like this Trevor's instinct video - https://youtube.com/shorts/bFx2Nqf_HtM?is=inDkWyPo9Wf-B4im - sets of 10. I was able to do with right arm easy, 3sets of 10 each time. Left arm was really hard! Had to do 1or 2 at a time and rest until got to 10, then 10 more halos each side. Ended with 60 bear crawl taps

Sunset was 8:06 today so I hurried home, got dinner ready, then left at 6:45 for a ride. Ruins and techy, 11.48 in 1 hour 32 min, I was straight into the wind on the road for the first 3 miles, it was slow and frustrating. I got a PR for my fastest 5 miles in 2026, and also a bronze PR for my descent, I was pushing hard on the road, got 2:50 time, my PR is 2:49, dang just one second! I should have pushed just a little harder!

Monday - 3:53 pm ride to the ruins. Techy on descent, very beautiful blue sky today! 

11.20 miles, 1 hour 57 min (spent 30 min at the ruins reading and playing) My little piles of rock to get across the creek, and I did it today! 

I found a good stick to help me, didn't get my shoes wet woot, it helps that the water is getting lower

Tuesday - Temple this morning at 5, then home so kids could have the car. 7:12 pm went to Lisa to explore. 2.25 miles, 1 hour 17 min. I cleaned up (organized rocks and logs) at the fort that whoever is/was making at Hogum Fork.

Big logs on left, regular hiking sticks on right. 

I got across the creek 4 times in new places! A little stressful cause I kept hiking up at one point, not sure if I'd find a place to cross, but I made it and didn't die.

Wednesday - 3:40 pm ride to ruins. First I stopped by the Bells Canyon bathroom to soak my shirt. Then the 94 degree temp was tolerable! 11.78 miles, 1 hour 35 min. spent 30 min at the ruins crossing the creek and stuff. I saw two fish try to fly up the waterfall (or one fish twice?)

Got the local legend with 16 efforts for Cottonwood Road/Dirt Climb to Pipe for all athletes! (already had it for Women) AND the LCC Enduro Descent, also for all athletes, with 11 efforts (Those two numbers should be the same, maybe minus one for the descent for when I had to bail out of my ride cause of rain, but when I got up, I come down too, so I think the "11 efforts" is wrong, should be 15.

Thursday - 6:15 am morning hike to ruins. 1.35 miles, 40 minutes. A momma deer and her two babies crossed the trail in front of me, so fun

Friday - 6:40 am, short hike exploring below the 1st bridge before Lily had to go to school. 32 min, .74 miles
