The last few weeks

The last few weeks of running pictures and hikes with the family.  I did another 17 mile run and then an awesome 25 mile loop of Millcreek and BCC trails too!

Main Chute in the summer



Jenna on top of Sugarloaf



Looking at Drom, Sunrise, and Twins from Mill B




Avery's first time at 11,000 ft












Looking at the mountains I would stand on at the midpoint of my marathon









Last section of rock before the top of Red Baldy

I think Red Baldy is one of my favorite mountains 



So weird looking down stuff I skied down this winter




The Y in the summer





Avery said she didn't want to take the trail

1st Trad Climb

I went on my first trad climb with Chad last Saturday and it was amazing!  I must have been too excited and couldn't sleep till around 2:30 and had to wake up at 5:20 so I was pretty nervous that I'd have no energy, but I was so excited I had plenty of energy.  It was 4 pitches between 5.7 and 5.9+.  It was so cool to step into this world where all of the sudden the untouchable in the mountains becomes doable.  I hope I get more opportunities to climb more this summer!  1st trad climb, 1st multi pitch climb, and first rappel.  The first rappel was a little scary at first!
