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!

Sleep was horrendous last night. Snoring dog, crying kids, constant wakings... Ugh.

Didn't feel too horrible when I dragged myself out of bed, but definitely not great.

Met up with the Davis County Crew at the Davis Creek Trailhead parking area - NINE people showed up! Dorsimus was going to come but wasn't feeling great so it could have been ten! MattVH, SteveN, RyanL, CaseyH, Layne, Abe, Stephen(?), Phil Lowry and myself.

A couple of guys turned back at the Parrish Lane bridge, and a couple more a half mile after that.

MattVH, Steve, Phil, Ryan and Me went 5 miles and turned around. I think I would prefer the Canyon as a training run to this - this took us about 20 minutes longer for the same distance with less vert too. I definitely prefer that route in the spring and summer. My legs are sore from twisting and flexing in abnormal ways. So I guess in that way it will be beneficial!

They're going for SPEED!

It'sa Me!

MattVH, Phil, Steve, and Ryan.

Still I'm happy I was able to get 10 miles in this morning. Somehow I feel more awake than previous Tuesdays even though I got crappy sleep!

yeah that was a bit of a slog 'smorning but it all goes into the training pot.

Yeah! It was also interesting to hear some of the training ideas from some very experienced fellas. Not that I'm going to follow them because that's not really within my goals, but it's still interesting!

Nice work, way to get out there and get it done! :)
