AM: Walk with the Roo-ster.

AM2: Wanted one last visit to Red Pine Lake before the rest of the snow falls. More snow than I expected so I was working pretty hard at the top! Was so pretty and peaceful with no other soul on the trail.

AM: Got up at 5:30 to run Liberty Park laps in the rain, such a contrast from my perpetual snooze hitting until at least 7:15. Rewarded myself by making pumpkin pancakes served with pumpkin butter.

PM:  I don't like running in the morning because then I don't have a run to look forward to after work. And then I end up at the laundromat with a bunch of creepers, oh how I haven't missed that in the last 8 plus years! Walked Roo in between loads with several sprints tossed in.

Last year on this day I was getting reacquainted with my ice machine, hip surgery número tres. It has been one heck of a haul, but I have finally put all that behind me and all I see is happy trails in front of me. 

I like to celebrate anniversaries so I finally did Elliott's Humpty Hump -  a sweet run stringing together Van Cott and Wire with another lil peak in between. 10 miles 3600+ feet of gain.

Cheers to staying healthy and my first winter in 4 years!

Millcreek hike with Andrea and Roo - not sure which one was more excited about the snow! Then 5 routes at M-town straining every muscle in my body.

Frozen bum run around Liberty Park and then another mile or so with Roo. Surpsiring amount of people out in about in 18 degree weather.

Enjoyed this article about Killian and his crazy FKT-ing! Really concerned that his head may actually blow up during his Everest attempt next year.

Also, this Mt. Wire trail running video is awesome! Go Outside and Play: A Morning on Red Butte

AM: Way too early Liberty Park run and then a cool-down with the Roo-ster.

PM: 5 miles home from work.

Who is this person?

Tried something different today, listened to a podcast (which was amazing, Terry Tempest Williams on Radiowest - LISTEN) during my run and took a turn off Dry Creek that I've never taken which got me bushwhacking up to a ridge that I never made it to the top of and was at one point 45% covered in burs. Pleasant change from the Liberty Loopties!

PM: Roo walk and 2 hours at the climbing gym.

Roo walk to the vet for his shots. He weighed in at eleven pounds, boo hoo! He's nearing the limit of my carrying capacity.

Then some laps around Liberty and caught a bunch of girls dancing to Taylor Swift in the alleyway behind my house, if I was Jake I would have joined in! Now off to some trail running film fest and some brewskis.

Home from work via the BST and Redondo. Finally scored the highly coveted Sunnyside to Redondo Strava record.  Had to go big today since it will be days before I have a chance to run again.

Drove to Moab. Hiked to Corona Arch and then chilled by the Colorado River. Highlight was having Roo's tendon treat stolen by a raven.

Headed south to the Cedar Mesa to try and find some ruins in Road Canyon. Sort of freaky when you get to the unmarked trailhead off of a forever dirt road and haven't seen a single car or person in over an hour and then drop down into a mazelike canyon and wander around for hours scrambling up to ruins with a wiggly 11-pound weight in your arms knowing that no one knows where you are right now and no one would really notice that you are missing for quite some time and if they did they really woudn't know where to look. Made it out in time (need to start telling people where I am going) to catch the sunset in Monument Valley before calling it a night in Mexican Hat.

Caught the sunrise at the San Juan Goosenecks, drove through Cedar Mesa, wandered around the rivers at Hite, hiked Little Wildhorse Canyon in the Swell, and then drove the entire Temple Mountain Road back to 70 and home listening to Amy Poehler's book the whole way - hilarious!
