July has gone by crazy fast. I'm still riding 3-4 times a week but still haven't been able to lace my sorry self into my running shoes and get out there. Cole and I have been working on house projects for two weeks and then last week we were in Lake Powell--yes "IN" Lake Powell. 100 degress + all week. We did a lot of floating in the water as a substitute for a/c. We did manage to get some wakeboardin and skiing in on the dawn patrol and evening runs--incredible. I've forgotten how much fun it is. The adults can still teach the next generation a thing or too.
I tried to limit the treats and sugar intake during the week but alas my addiction overpowered me. I brought home a little extra weight and now I'm kicking myself because I've got to lose it all over again.
I did manage to ride up AF Canyon again the day before we left for Powell. More suffering on the way up but the ride down was incredible--42 mph and that was coasting. Soooo much fun. I only hit that speed on the straight away by Mutual Dell and then it's 26 to 32 mph after that. AF Canyon is on the schedule 4 more times before Sept. I'm still slower than I want but I can see a little bit of progress. I'm still dragging during the day. Trying to keep the sugar to a minimum and drinking lots of water but my energy level is low---very frustrating. If anyone has any ideas please share.
Be safe and watch out for bears. (I haven't seen any up AF Canyon so I'm doing great--I did yell that breakfast was over so maybe that took care of them)

Lake Powell is so fun. I'm jealose. Way to go on AF canyon. Poor energy is hard to deal with. Usually its because a vitamin deficiency. Maybe take a good vitamin and try to have a power nap in the afternoon.
