10:00 a.m. Ivins, UT. 12 mile easy run up into Snow Canyon to the end of the paved path, which is exactly 5.0 miles from our house. Turn around and back home for 10 and to pick up Pickles for the final 2 mile loop back up to the Snow Canyon Parkway trail along Center St. and back down Puerto Drive and home. 1:54:12, slow but a beautiful day for a run down here while avoiding thinking about the 12" of snow sitting on our lawn in Tooele.
