Trail Running Granny

Kim and I took Odee and Ziggy to dog lake, the dogs were in heaven, Ziggy is a wonderful trail dog, she makes Odee look old and tired.  She pranced the whole way, I wish I could put a garmin on her, I bet she did 20 miles.  They played in the lake and then we went to Lone Star for fish tacos.  Yay for summmer.

Ran thru the neighborhood.

Did the Crest trail again with Ernie and Gary and Harold. No snow on the trails.  The temp was 36 degrees at the start and it was cool thru the whole run. NICE!

I have had a sore throat for the last 3 days, so I am taking it easy. I just mailed in my Goblin Valley 50K registration!  Time to get alittle more serious, St. George and GV will be here before you know it!

Hiked Lake Blanche with Kim and did Lone Star fish tacos after!

Hiked the Red Pine Trail in LCC with ARdath this morning.

Back to muscle-up after taking several weeks off. ouch.

Short run with Odee on the Pipeline this morning!

Hiked to Grandeur Peak with Kim and Odee, saw a bull moose.  LOVELY DAY in the wilderness.

ran the Old Mill route, did alot of walking actually, my running mojo is lacking gusto this year.

Had a great run this morning with Maurine, Harold mountain biked.  We did the Wasatch Crest. Started at Puke Hill ran to Desolation Lake and down to Mill D.  We had a car parked acouple miles down the road to give us a few more miles.  The early morning temp was 55 and it stayed nice and cool thru the whole run.  

great trail run with Ardath, Ziggy and Odee on the Pipeline this morning.

20 min. of  swimming laps, that felt fabulous, first time this summer, definitely not the last!

I should have gone to muscle-up, but was not in the mood.  Did a little run in the neighborhood and will try and get over to the pool and do afew laps this afternoon. 

I always love to find a new trail.  We did Hugh's Canyon to the waterfall. Nice short hike. I actually ran 2 miles before we hiked, to give me 5 miles. 

I actually did a 12 plus mile bike ride with Harold this morning, and did the bike/run conversion, I can not believe how hard it is for me to bike, I wonder if it is my body or in my head.  I tried riding with him acouple of days ago and road my bike up 2 miles to the mouth of BCC and told him to go on and I turned around and went home exhausted.  Today we rode up to  the mouth of BCC and I was fine ( I am actually riding Harold's  Kona Mountain Bike, so that makes it a little tougher) anyway, I rode with him along Wasatch Blvd to about 45th South and turned around.  It was not that bad, it would be fun to see the differance on a women's road bike.  Tomorrow we are going to try and go a little further.  Kind of a nice change.

16 miles on the bike, my bum is so sore.

Awesome hike to Desolation Lake with Ardie, early morning temp 50 degrees, back in the valley it was 93.  

One mile of barefoot running in the park ( I am reading Born to Run....SO AMAZING!)  I loved it!  Then a 4 mile hike to the SLC Overlook on the Desolation trail. We saw a rattlesnake on the trail that even rattled for us.  Very cool.

CRAZY!!!  Gary and Ernie and I met at Rattlesnake Gulch, about 15 min. into our run I spotted an another rattlesnake in the middle of the trail, I was in front, screamed, swore and then jumped off the trail.  The snake slithered away and we kept going.  We ran up to Elbow Fork and back.  On the way back we took off our shoes and enjoyed the stream at the Churchfork junction. Awesome morning.

8 mile bike ride with Dad and Harold down to the San Clemente Pier, then dad treated us to some fancy dancy crepes at a cool little outdoor cafe across from the beach.
