Married with 4 kids - always thought I was healthy and fit - but only the past few years have I really gotten that way!

I love yoga, climbing, general fitness, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and staying active and able!

Total Distance
6.60

Ran from an Easter Egg Hunt party in Bountiful North on the BST up to Parrish Lane - then up the switchbacks. Nice trail - but I was super slow going up.

 Kind of funny to be disappointed that I ONLY ran 6.6 miles and ONLY had an hour to run... That would have been a TON of running a year ago!

Finished off with slacklining at my sisters house, then set up my other slackline at the 2nd easter egg hunt we went to in Sandy and had fun on that. Finally made some real slackline progress!

 Also - discovered Lone Peaks are a bit big and clunky for slacklines!!

I thought jun was crazy doing the slackline when you did The Wedge run, but since then I've been thinking that it is probably very good for strengthening lower leg and ankle muscles and connective tissue, which would in turn be good for trail running. Is that true, do you think? We've got a million tie-downs here that we could probably jimmy into something fun for the kids (and maybe me).

Definitely! My feet and ankles are QUITE sore after sessions of Slacklining - even though we aren't great at it yet!

The Wedge was my first experience with the slackline - even though it was MY slackline! My monkeying around on it wasn't normal slacklining though!

If your tie-downs are high enough quality (thickness) you might be able to do something!
