GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Went to the first day of pine view xc practice.  I pass down my power of Gould number 2 to Mitchell Price aka math addict Mitch.  I also passed down the Nike Swoll Jersey to Alex Hill my brother.  I think I was worthy of the Nike Swoll jersey, my final 2 rep max for bench press was 180 lbs so not bad for a xc runner ha ha.  Then we ran 3.6 miles, out and back into the desert.  Good run, but a bit hard getting back into it.

Hiked the East Rim in Zion 11 miles

Am -  I FINALLY FOUND A TORTOISE!

Started out just heading up Grapvine at 9am.  The desert so pretty, all the colors so vibrant.  I ran to the top of Grapvine to the base of what I'm gonna call Grapvine Volcano.  That was my goal, to summit the volcano.  It was kinda sketchy hiking through what I figured to be perfect rattlesnake territory.  There was a few abandoned tortoise caves I passed, then finally about 50 meters to the top I looked in a cave and boom, there's a tortoise staring at me.  It was epic.  The views from the top of the the volcano were also epic.  The run was six miles and I bet I hiked .5 miles.

This run was epic I'm gonna post pics on Twitter @nick____hill

In Zion again, this time Orderville Canyon, 14 miles
