AM: Treadmill due to the torrential rain outside. Hill climb workout.  1@5%, 1@8%, 1@4%, 1@8%, 1@2% - 45 mins 1400' Vert

PM: I was so inspired from Paul's 3rd American Finish at Boston today, that I had to get outside and run again.  Alright, I admit I was going to anyway, but dang that was sweet.  I headed out to inspect the Logan and Blacksmith Fork Rivers as there is some serious runoff with all this rain.  This is a picture of where the logan river and the blacksmith fork rivers combine.  My house is over the trees to the left.  So far no flooding issues at my house.  Getting kind of scary though. 

Here is a picture I took today at noon from the end of my street.

 

 

I didn't get a picture, but the bathroom at the end of the Planet Walk is very nearly under water.  In fact the loop that we have dubbed the Paul Petersen memorial loop would require a boat to navigate as it is submerged  completely.  I have never seen the rivers so high and technically, the runoff has not peaked yet.  By my rough estimation, the river needs to rise only 1 more foot to breach and cover the golf course completely.  The next 3 weeks will be quite interesting.    5 miles of investigating.  37 mins.

AM: Back to the Bread and Butter routes now. Today was Providence Hills Loop. I can tell my fitness has slipped as 7:30 pace was harder than it should have been. It was great to be out though. Leg sore by the end. T- 63:45 (7:30) 500' Vert

PM: Easy 3 on Planet Walk loop.  River is down about 6 inches today.

Deer Fence from providence to dry and back.  Taking it easy today, the leg is unhappy.  No double to let it rest a bit.

Bike Ride -

My leg was quite unhappy with me the last few days.  I guess I did too much this week and it caught up with me.  So, for a break I went for a bike ride.  That seems to not hurt it at all.  I figured a nice ride up to Hardware Ranch would be just right.  Well, apparently I am out of shape.  The nice tailwind I had going up the canyon was brutal on the way down.  I was quite miserable.  Oh, well I survived and with a 2.5 hour ride to boost the fitness while not hurting the leg.  Perfect.

T- 2:28 (44 miles) 17.8 mph (convert to 15 miles x-train) 500' Vert

** Weekly Summary 55 Miles (40 Running) 465 Mins 3900' Vert

Too much running hurt the leg again.  Better re-evaluate for next week.
