AM - 10 miles on the trails in Dimple Dell park.

Not exactly what I had planned for the morning... I had the day off from work and planned on doing a big ski mountaineering day. Long story short, conditions were unstable, and I took a very scary fall... came out of it with some bruises and cuts, but luckily nothing major. Got humbled by the mountains today. I wrote more about what happened on my website: http://wasatchandbeyond.blogspot.com/2011/05/lesson-learned-in-limber-pine.html

So after I decided to pull the plug on my ski day, I went for a nice run in Dimple Dell to clear my head. Great to be on those wood chip trails.... and even better to finally be running shirtless! Its about time!

PM - Ran from home up to Sugarhouse, met Andrea, and did a few loops around the park.

Wow! Thanks for the report. Having been there before I know exactly how you felt. Nice work stopping yourself and getting down safe.

Yeah Scott I figured you'd appreciate the beta. Things need some more time to consolidate before we can really do some steep snow climbs (which are my favorite, and I'm getting impatient!).

Yeah, spring mountaineering season is usually my favorite, but this year has been very frustrating for sure. There have been a lot of slides up there and I am sure all of this rain this week won't help.
