Jardine Juniper - 

Up at the crack of dawn to beat the crowds to the trails.  It worked for the most part.  I biked up to the tree at a easy-med effort.  I hit the first summit at 33:33 and the tree at 55:00.  I quickly dropped the bike and gear and ran in circles swatting the mosquitos before running the loop at the top.  It turns out it is 1.5 miles with 250' Vertical per loop.  The trail is nice and dry this time on the loop (although the 2 stream crossings earlier were nasty).  First loop in 13 mins.  Second loop in 12:06.  Third and final running loop in 12:25.  I loved it.  It was sure nice to run on trails at altitude mostly pain free.  Things did get tight the last .5 mile so I called it good.  I quickly donned my bike gear and did the loop on the bike for comparison.  10:12.  So its faster to bike it by about 2 mins.  Times up, down the trail to the car.  22:45 counting stopping for bikes and hikers where necessary and stopping in the creek crossing to soak the knee for a min.  What a blast!

Biked to Deer Fence - Ran 4 miles on the trail.  First 2 were perfect, next mile and a half the ITB tightened, the final half mile the tightness moved to the outside of the knee.  Biked home.  

T- 45 min bike, 33 min run 1150' Vert combined

PM: Ran the kids to the park and back.  Barefoot and pushing the stroller.  Felt good.  Call it a half mile or so.  TRX for 30 min afterward.

Epic Bike Ride - 

Alright, not really epic, but it was cool.  Parked at the corner of Left Hand Fork and Blacksmith Fork, jumped on the bike and followed the road up the mtn. for 15 miles.  Things started out fine until the cows took over the road and I was forced to play rancher for the next 3 miles.  It was not fun.  Too many stupid cows refusing to walk 10 feet out of the way and instead running for miles up the road.  I would get around some and then there would be more waiting up the road.  I ended up following the road until it met up with the top end of Richards Hollow.  15 miles and 3000' vert in 2 hours.  Time for a jog now.  Ditched the bike and headed down Richards Hollow.  The trail was pretty muddy and the stream was running high.  4 miles round trip of blissful trail running.  No issues with the leg today.  Could have been the stream crossings kept things icy cool.  4 miles in nearly 40 mins with 800' vert climbing.  Back on the bike.  This time rather than re-visiting the cows, I went for the awesome trail down Richards Hollow.  The stream crossings make the bike all squeaky and muddy, but the flowers were out in force.  10.5 miles back to the car in about an hour.  It was a blast coming down that trail on a bike.  Nearly as fun as running, and much more dangerous.  I nearly killed myself a few times.  Too many rocks and blind corners combining forces.  Finished this up with a dip in the stream and a shout out to Paul P. who was running up the canyon on my way down.  Go Paul.  

 Took the family to Minnetonka Cave near bear lake and it was a hit.  We even went on a hike while there and the kids wanted to trail run with their old man.  What have I done?

Total - 3 hours bike - 40 min run - 3800' vert 

Weekly Summary- 73.5 equivalent miles - 15.5 miles running  - 12,750' vert - 94 bike miles - 720 Mins - Highest Volume week of the year.  Leg is marginally better, but not much.  Enjoying the short runs, much better than nothing.
