Great run today with Kendall. We started up in Millcreek Canyon at Porter Fork, running down the pipeline trail to Church Fork, up to the top of Grandeur peak, back down to the mouth of the canyon then back to Porter Fork. For most of the run the trail was in great shape, especially for December. A little cool and wet. Surprising  though, my GPS gave me an elevation gain of 4771. Not sure if that's right?

I was running one of my gully connection loops, noticed a faint trail heading up the mountain off of Wasatch Blvd. Decided to check it out and see where it went and discovered a awesome new addition to my running trails. Ended up cutting it short due to time constraints and bushwhacked it down the side of the mountain. Sadly I was wearing shorts and the scrub oak shredded my legs.

Snowy cold hill run at Snowbird, had to break it up in to separate runs due to work. Also got a couple of ski runs in. I love my job!

Started my run in fairly good conditions, the snowstorm came in at about mile 4....Sadly I was not dressed right and I froze my A$$ off for the next 6. Had to stand in the shower for 20 min to thaw out.

Didn't feel like running in the snow today. Spent some time doing much needed speed work on the treadmill. 2 mile/wu then 6 mile increasing tempo, with 2 mile cd.

Spent the day playing with my kids, building luge runs and playing xbox 360. Finally able to sneak away around 8 tonight. Perfect conditions for a night run! Snow was soft and squeaky on the trail, with good traction. Full moon bright enough that I didn't need my head lamp. Garmin died 5 min into run so I gauged my run with a goal of 10 miles and hit it on the nose!

Really slow miles up at Snowbird. Didn't get out until after dark, -1 F at Alta. The cold sapped my energy and will to run. Plans for 10, have to be satisfied with 7.
