Mill Creek Canyon

The first time I rode Mill Creek Canyon I wasnt able to share all the usual stats with you because I had forgotten my Garmin. Today, I woke up and went to watch the Steelers beat Favre and the Vikings. After eating far to many Nachos and having had pancakes for breakfast I thought it best to get out on my bike and repeat the Mill Creek Hill Climb from a month ago.

The start was pretty rough as my muscles were rejecting the idea of the hill climb, and it it definitely starting to get pretty cold in the canyon. The sun provided occasional relief as It poked into various parts of the canyon, but for the most part it was pretty cold. I broke out the gloves, arm warmers, and leggings for the first time this year on the bike.

The canyon goes up further than I ended up climbing but it was due to cold more than exhaustion. I made it to mile marker 6 which was the initial goal.

As Always, Garmin stats are below.

GE Surgery Healthymagination 5k

For those out there that don't already know, I work at GE Healthcare in their Information Management Leadership Program. My current role has take me to Salt Lake City where I work in the surgery business. Its a much smaller enviroment than back in Milwaukee where most of our GEHC businesses are located. However, we are still strong participants in many of the company initiatives. The largest and most important being Healthymagination. I am sure many people have seen the commercials, but copied below is a recent press release link on the initiative: HealthymaginationPress Release

This week has involved many healthy events around the office. Today at 7:30am we had the Healthymagination Surgery 5k run. It was a small event which most people walked to show support. However a few of us gave it our all. I came in 2nd place overall winning a wonderful $25 gift certificate which will be donated to our iCare charity auction as a part of a larger gift basket for people to bid on.

As always, below are the Garmin Stats:
