Needed to get my long run out of the way early this week. Ran up Little Cottonwood Canyon to the Alta Bypass Rd. 3500 ft elev gain. I could tell all the hill work was paying off, I was able to run the whole canyon. Legs are very sore with the pounding of the pavement. Time up 2:01 time down 1:24

After yesterdays hill climb I ran out in Bluffdale, nice and flat! Went out this morning planning on an easy 5 miles, but after 3 miles I really hit the wall. I came in fueled up stretched and went back out this evening and finished up doing 6. I felt really good and had to slow down several times reminding myself that this was a recovery run. Amazing what a few hours can do for a body. average pace of 9:28

You are killing it my friend. Some great runs lately. How did you feel about the double? Feel like I should do more if I could drag myself out of bed...or get to bed earlier--in the wrong business for that.

Ran up at Snowbird around the Alta bypass road, then up to the top of the rope tow. Nice cool evening run with the snow along the rope tow hard and crisp to run on. I did several hill sprints for aprox .10 mile each, pretty winded by the last one.

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.

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.

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.
