Week of sun, sand, and surfing does a body good.  Surf was small and inconsistant but the waves I did get were enough to sink the hook a little deeper.  This is something I need to do more of at some point in my life, I have never done anything thas was so difficult to learn and, as tends to come with things that are difficult, so totally rewarding when I start to get it. Such a dymanic environment, wind, swell, direction and strength of both, tide, break type, where to sit, what wave to choose, all of this in constant flux. Something that takes years to learn and is tough to get, but something that those who are good at make look so incredialby easy. 

Speaking of other sports I love besides running, here's a pic from a solo Malan's Basin run starting from Snowbasin this spring.  

What you can't see in the pic is the top 1/3 of this beauty.  Starting from the top of Mt Allen it's a pretty solid 2800 vert of perfect fall line all to myself.

Got out for a very easy 6 tonight.  Things felt great other than half of my body mass has been replaced by Hula Pie!! Yum!! Not a soul out tonight.

That's one of the most beautiful lines I have ever seen. Wow.
