Another Wasatch mini-loop, this time in reverse into Cotton Bottom then up past the Old Mill to Porcupine, then north on Wasatch to 33rd South, then back home. Lungs felt okay today, but had a small sciatic flare-up. Not happy at all with my form right now … I know I don’t [...]

It’s been happening off-and-on since I crashed skiing back in early February. At first, I thought I had hurt my back (and it’s possible I still have, although I [...]
