Good Ol' Monday

Today I did a running route that I have not done for a while. It was actually really tough. I loved it though. it was on a lot of just straight roads and what not, but it seemed to go by fast. It got hot at the end. I am excited for fall to get here.

Timp and 1100 Miles

On Monday I hiked Mt. Timpanogos with my Father in Law. This is one of the best hikes in Utah. It is so beautiful and gives you many spectacular views. On this hike we saw a moose on the way up and the same moose on the way down. We saw a ton of mountain goats that were so close we had to walk around them. We also heard some coyotes howling.
This hike takes all day for most people and nice and long. The elevation gain is a lot but there is never really a steep part. I saw a couple people running the trail. There is nothing better than getting to the top and eating a PBJ and looking at the view.

Corporate Games

Last Saturday I participated in the Corporate Games. The C.G. is something the county puts on for local businesses to participate in. They have all sorts of activities from fishing to mini golf. The past two years I have done the 5k for my company and it is a blast. Last year they had the race at Sugar house park. It was fun I got 1st in my division last year so the pressure was on for me to get 1st this year. This year they had the race at Wheeler farm. I got 6th place overall and 1st in my division. There are a lot of people in the race and I was really happy with my race. My overall time was 18:41.
