2 hour mountain biking in Wheeler Canyon (and thereabouts) checking out the first half of the XTERRA course with Ry. What have I gotten myself into???? Between miles 1.5 and 6.5 there is a 1600 foot climb ... grinding I tell you! Note to self: work on strength and endurance --- HA!!!!! :) :) :)

1 hr 45 minute hike with the kiddoes :) 

 

Not sure what it is but there is definitely something incredibly awesome about being in the mountains! SO LUCKY TO LIVE HERE!!!! :)

Looks like you had a great time!

Are you and Ry both planning to do XTERRA? How exciting (in a really hard, challenging way)!

Andrea~

It was a fun day. Ry and I spent the morning in Ogden at Wheeler Canyon and then came home and got the kids and headed to Draper to Corner Canyon. Very nice! :)

I have been trying (begging/pleading/bribing) Ry to do the XTERRA with me. However, he says absolutely not!!! :( :( :(

My only goal at XTERRA is to push myself (both physically and mentally ... this is so out of my comfort zone) and finish in one piece. :)

What a fun day and your kids are absolutely adorable. I just love that picture of them holding hands while hiking up the mountain. Too cute!

A great looking bunch! You should be very proud!

I agree, Teena, there is something awesome about being in the mountains. I have been away from them for far too long. I'm so glad we've been going on hikes the past couple of weekends.

Hey, you were just on the other side of the mountain from us while we were on our hike.

From DaleG on Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 21:52:32 from 152.216.7.5

Oh, by the way, Teena...I have done a couple of Xterra trail races and they were brutal. Well, actually the one on Antelope Island wasn't too bad, but the 10k at Wolf Mountain was the toughest race I have ever done, even harder than a marathon. lol

I'm already freaking out about it Dale!!!!!!! Way to calm my fears!!!! :) :) :)

I think you'll be ok. You're a lot tougher than I am. Lol
