4 hours and 15 minutes mountain biking in Brian Head!!! Crazy fun the first couple of hours and then kind of scary the remaining 2.25 hours. Ry and I got lost somewhere between the Lowland Pools/Dark Hollow area. We thought we heard moose but ended up be surrounded by about 30 black angus who wouldn't let us pass. As we tried to find a new route we got crazy lost. Ended up having to find our way to the highway and then ride 6 crazy uphill miles back to our car. We had run out of fluids, had no sunscreen on, and were plain ill-prepared. But at least I was with my love celebrating 19 years!! Shelbey was so great and insisted that she stay with our kiddos so that we could get a quick getaway. Spontaneous moments sometimes make the best memories!! Here's to Brain Head, Angus cows, and getting lost with my love! :-) Oh yea, and crazy heavy quads and bizarre sunburn lines the day after!!! :-)

5 fantastic miles on the Virgin River Trail with Shelby!! Crazy how Shelby and I spend 40+ hours together at work each week and then enjoy running and hanging out at the house in the wee morning hours and/or late in the evenings! I would have never guessed that my PTA would end up being one of my closest friends. I have had a hard time really connecting on a deep friendship level with anyone in SG until Shelby. Lots of people I consider friends here, but no one that I could really share my deepest thoughts, fears, etc. with without fear of judgement. This is likely because when I'm not at work I want to hang with Ry and the kiddos. I thought I'd become close with some fellow runners, but it just didn't happen as easily as I thought it would. Our whole family LOVES Shelby!! I feel crazy lucky to have her around! :-)

9 miles with Ry (Smo joined us for 3 of them). Lots of loops! (3 x 3 different loops ... quite fun.)

7 miles, including 7 x "almost home" hill with Smo keeping me honest!

First 4 hill repeats I kept up with Smo and found myself quite pleased with my performance foolishly believing that I must be in awesome shape because we were sprinting up and up side by side.

Little did I know she was playing with me!!!

Hill repeats 5 and 6 increasingly stole little pieces of my ego bit by bit.

When repeat number 7 presented itself I told myself that come h or high water I was going to stay with Smo. But h and high water came and although I desperately tried to keep up with that girl I fell further and further behind! She destroyed me. It wasn't even close. Seriously. It's the weirdest feeling to feel self defeat and yet so proud simultaneously. It was actually pretty amazing!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!!

Ry and I were missing our running partners today. We only had each other to entertain ourselves for this long and hot run!! Well each other and 1 coyote, 13 bunnies, a handful of dogs and one psychotic cat!!!

Home -> Virgin River Trail -> Bloomington Trails -> Little Valley -> Fort Pierce wash -> Crimson Development -> Sunrise -> Big Bull Loop -> Home (and a jig a jig jig) :-)
