5 TM miles at 5:00 a.m.  Slow at 47 minutes.  More snow overnight.  I guess 5,000 ft. is the breaking point.  We're only getting rain in SLC when I got to work.  Hamstring doing better, as long as I keep it wrapped up and don't push the pace too much.  Last day at the office until January 4th.

10 miler with Tina at 8:00 a.m.  200 West loop down to Pine Canyon road and Droubay road coming back.  Uphills were killing me.  I'm really feeling out of shape.  It's pretty tought to stay up with Tina right now.  7:30 to 7:45 pace on the early portion.  A lot slower coming up. 35 degrees with fog rolling in and out.  With my chocolate lab, Savannah, for the last .6 mile loop.  Talk about being out of shape!  I was practically dragging her most of the way!

4 miles in 36:13 with Tina at 8:00 a.m.  30 degrees and foggy again.  Fog cleared up toward the mouth of Middle Canyon but then we turned around and went right back down into the yuck.  No run tomorrow or Sunday.  3 decent weeks.  Hamstring doing much better, but there is still something there that tells me to be very careful.  Merry Christmas!
