Feeling much better today.  All I could think about were hills as I was waking up, so I ran up the hilly streets in in the Avenues and Federal Heights until there were no more streets to run.  Popped out at the little trail that accesses the cement U and then connected with the Bonneville Shoreline trail for a bit before heading home through the University. Finally felt like a runner for the first time this year on the last, slightly downhill mile.

AM: A cold 18 degrees this morning, and icy.  Once again feeling much better and more recovered from the recent illness.  I planned to run the Ensign Elem loop, but missed a turn without thinking. So I ran a research park/guardsman loop.  A lot of traffic, stoplights, and ice, but I made the most of it. 

PM:  I ran home from work, 2.25 miles.

AM:  fun "workout" with the Black Sheep.  We ran over to the golf course at the U and did surges on each fairway through the snow.  It's tough but invigorating. Then we played a big game of gang tag, which was definitely one of the more aerobically taxing things I have done in a long time.  All that added up to just four miles, so I added some extra at the end with a few folks.

AM:  8.25 miles with Josh, Megan and Amy in the snow.  We had about three inches of fresh snow, I would guess.  We ran up into City Creek, which was quiet and very pleasant.  On our way down memory grove, Josh and I were passed by a runner neither of us recognized (partially at least because he was wearing a balaklava).  We were just running easy pace, so no big deal, but that doesn't happen very often and we joked about it for a while.

PM:  I ran home 5 miles from Sugarhouse after work. I had to handle some car issues and it was easiest to run home.  Listened to the Bill Moyers conversations with Joseph Campbell on Lil' Trooper II.

AM:  Radda run.  The conditions were fairly good--still pretty cold. Kim, Lisa and myself ran a loop up through the school field to get some snowy running in--it wasn't easy. Lisa and I did a little surge at the end of our run and I am impressed with her speed.  She is planning to run Ogden and should run well if she trains consistently.

PM:  Ran home from work, stopped at Hatch Family Chocolates on 4th Avenue and E Street and bought two dark chocolate turtles for our dessert.

Heather and I were flying out of town early so I ran on my own this morning--I ran an icy loop out to Sugarhouse Park and back via the Country Club and Foothill Blvd.
