Pickleball 45:00 [1]

Short stint on the courts, at the rec center. I was pretty wiped out from having some sort of stomach bug over the weekend which kept me from eating much at all, and then getting a wisdom tooth pulled today which significantly affected what I could eat today (now that I'm reasonably recovered from the bug). I was playing kind of like I was in a fog. Then I twisted my ankle and decided to stop. It was quite painful for a few minutes, then it didn't feel so bad. Fairly swollen now though, so I'll see what it's like tomorrow to determine if the injury is mild and passing, or more significant.

Walking 17:40 [1] 0.95 mi (18:34 / mi) +7ft 18:26 / mi

Short walk to try to limber up my hamstring/hip before pickleball.

Pickleball 1:54:05 [1] 2.05 mi (55:45 / mi)

Little Valley courts, St. George again.

1 PM

Pickleball 39:14 [1] 0.59 mi (1:06:03 / mi) +1ft 1:05:57 / mi

Took a bit of a break, actually thought I was done, but then got pulled into a few more games.

Walking 1:51:53 [1] 3.0 mi (37:18 / mi) +6762ft 11:54 / mi
shoes: Merrell hiking boots

Zion Natl Park with Cheryl and trailsnail. Riverwalk trail. I wore the GPS just for the heck of it, knowing that the trace would be all over the place since we were in a narrow, 3000 foot deep canyon, and sat. reception is clearly not the greatest ... Reported distance was around 7 miles with 6762 feet of climb. Actual distance was more like 3 miles with possibly 100 feet of climb.

5 PM

Walking 21:53 [1] 0.75 mi (29:11 / mi) +200ft 23:18 / mi
shoes: Merrell hiking boots

Another short hike in Zion (Weeping Wall trail). Again, GPS track was bananas. Said we covered 2.6 miles and climbed 969 minutes. Truth was probably 0.75 miles and 200 feet.

Pickleball 2:45:25 [2] 2.74 mi (1:00:17 / mi) +1ft 1:00:16 / mi

St. George, Utah. Little Valley courts. A very fine pickleball complex -- 24 well designed courts, with chairs, shade, bathrooms, etc.

5 PM

Walking 55:00 [1] 2.57 mi (21:24 / mi) +459ft 18:18 / mi
shoes: Merrell hiking boots

Hike in Snow Canyon State Park, just outside of St. George. I recall that Letchworth won the award for best state park in the US, well deserved, but I sure hope that Snow Canyon at least made the top 10. Very spectacular park, in fact, in many parts of the country it would likely be a national park, it's just the Utah has so many really fantastic national parks that this probably didn't make the radar for national park consideration here.

We hiked the Jackson Canyon trail.

The GPS went totally bananas a few places when we were well within the canyon, which is understandable.

Pickleball 1:31:24 [1] 1.55 mi (58:59 / mi) +3ft 58:52 / mi

Pickleball at St. George, Utah! At the Sun River community (a 55+ community a bit south of town) courts. With Cheryl and trailsnail and several residents of Sun River. Had a good time. Actual time on the court was about 30-40 minutes longer than GPS time because I neglected to start the GPS until several games in.

4 PM

Walking 48:08 [1] 1.42 mi (33:54 / mi) +42ft 32:59 / mi
shoes: Saucony Excursion TR8 2015

A short hike on one of the trails of a fairly large trail system, in a wilderness area adjacent to Sun River. Nice scenery. Once a bit away from the Sun River area, there wasn't much sign of civilization as far as could be seen. I observed that it would be a nice area for a rogaine -- certainly large enough!

6 PM

Walking 15:21 [1] 0.83 mi (18:29 / mi) +53ft 17:26 / mi
shoes: Saucony Excursion TR8 2015

A walk on pavement from the Sun River community center to the house we were staying in, while Cheryl and trailsnail checked out the pool and hot tub.

Walking (Dog walk) 38:50 [1] 2.13 mi (18:14 / mi)

With Hanna only -- Cheryl took Homer on a shorter, slower walk.

Over to Finn Park, back to the field, and back home.

12 PM

Pickleball 1:30:00 [2]

Rec Center. Generally good games. Then in the end, I played one game of singles vs Ken. Amazing how tough of a workout singles is vs doubles -- more like the equivalent of racketball, I'd say. I was up 10-3, then he got 8 (!) points in a row to go up 11-10, having game point on me. I then came back with 3 points to beat him 13-11.

Slept 6:45.

11 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 55:00 [1] 2.9 mi (18:58 / mi)
shoes: Merrell hiking boots

Dog walk over to Finn Park and around the field. I used an app on my phone (Runtastic) as my GPS device. It seems to be more accurate than the other one I tried (iRunner). And it gives a nice map of my route to view on screen. However, I can't figure out any way to upload the GPS tracks to AP or anywhere else. It seems like there must be a way, somehow.

Also, I used my Fitbit to estimate distance (from pace counts). It said I covered 2.87 miles, only about 1% off of what the GPS app said, rather amazing.

2 PM

Running (Treadmill) 16:00 [2] 1.2 mi (13:20 / mi)
shoes: Hoka Mafate Speed

Very slow treadmill run, to get used to running on a treadmill again, before pickleball.

3 PM

Pickleball 1:40:00 [2]

Rec Center. As usual, some good games, others not quite as good, but I didn't get into any really horrendous games at least.

11 PM

Note

Might be a record since I've gotten my FitBit.

20,900 paces, 10.15 miles (per FitBit's calculation -- I'm quite sure I didn't really cover that much distance, but I bet it might have been 7-8 miles).
