I was only going to do 10 after work but.. there was 3 inches of snow on the Provo river trail and it was FREAKING AWESOME so i added some more. I love running in snow. This was perfect after Saturdays long one. 7:20

Easy-ish run on the trails after work. Ran the pipeline route to the single track up into the bowl. Stellar views under timp just before the sun went down. Got some fresh tracks on the ridge coming back. The run was harder than the pace suggests with the snow and not the best footibg from the Altra Superiors but it was still fun. 8:03, 1000 vert.

am - Easy 11 mile fun run with Matt, Tris, Toni, Mike, and Bryce up the canyon and back. I did an easy mile before to loosen the legs up. The miles flew by today because of the good conversation. Love these runs, after some long days at work it's nice to get together with the gang again.7:15

Pm - easy 1 mile shakeout on the elliptical and then a 45 minute stepdown on the tm. 10 minutes at 8.5 mph, 9 minutes at 9, 8 minutes at 9.5, 7 minutes at 10, 6 minutes at 10.5, 5 minutes at 11. Very happy with this. Felt strong. 6:12

An easy 10 mile loop from Matts with the crew. Legs were feeling it the first couple but loosened up nicely. Good prep run for tomorrows SLC fun. 7:38

Fun fact. As of today I broke 3000 miles for the year which is a huge PR and 10x my mileage from 2010, the year i started running.

What a great morning in the snowstorm! Our crew was only 7 today, but it was still a bunch of fun. Fritz, Jake, Matt, Mike, Kevin, Kaulin, and I ran in the snow and slush around SLC. Like the last couple weeks, and despite the conditions, the miles managed to go by very fast. No speed records were broken today, just some good old fashioned character building miles. Jake and Andrea had all of us over for a delicious breakfast afterward. It was nice to see Allie and James there too and nice to meet Aimee. Thanks for preparing it, it was so tasty! Matt thanks for driving and the motivation ;). 6:52
