Thought I needed to keep the legs spinning for my upcoming 100k, so why not an easy  4-5 miles on the “mill”.  1 @ 8, got bored, sped up. 2 @ 6:45, got more bored, sped it up again. 3 @ 6:30 . . couldn’t stand it any longer.  4th @ 6:20 just to get it over with, so much for an easy 4 . . .maybe I will tough it out on the roads when the trails get buried . . .and try speed work on  the hamster wheel.

"treacher-trail"

Got an about hour in on the trails tonight . Headed up Taylor Canyon from 27th  at sunset . The trail was treacherous , a bobsled run of ice, must have had a freeze thaw cycle or two since Thursday, not bad on the up, reduced to a slow shuffle, and times tree to rock to tree, on the down just to keep it upright.  (Need to get some of the shoe cleat things I see all the smart old guys carrying on the dry trail at the bottom) Ran the rest on the BST in the dark . .kinda nice actually .. not dodging mountain bikes and dog walkers.  6 miles or so.

8.5 miles tonight.  Started at 3:30 from Bues Canyon and headed east.  The trail was initially very icy but quickly turned into nice packed snow.   I knew that once I got onto the higher, south facing, trail it would be clear, and it was in great shape.  Got to the Mt Ogden shoulder just as it was getting dark.  I passed a lot of deer on the way up , and just as I switched on my light to head down the thought went through my head . . . “Where there are that many deer,  there are mountain lions” . . .crappy thought heading down a cold, lonely trial in the dark!  About 4200 ft up.  About 13,000 ft of climb in the past week .  Not bad for the 1st part of December.

7 miles on the BST in a snow storm.  Slow and slippery. Nice run.
