Woke up to rain, went running, finished in the snow. Man, oh man, I was soaked and I had such a bad attitude! I was simply done with running in those conditions.  There is no good reason I should be pulling on tights and a heavy jacket on May 24th.  I feel I have no complained enough and can move on with my day.

AM:  Black Sheep workout at East High track.  After the warmup, we ran 2 x 400 with speed changes, then 2 x 400 (87, 85), 3 x 800 (2:50,2:47, 2:44), 2 x 1200 (4:12,4:10) and 1 x 1 mile. On the mile, I lost my final lap split but I was at 4:05 at 1200m.  I picked it up in the last lap and it felt about 80-82, so probably 5:25-5:27 or so.

 PM:  I ran home from work, 2.25 miles.

This morning I ran up onto the Shoreline Trail, and to the gate at Red Butte. Rather than turn around and go back the same way, I continued south from the entrance to Red Butte Canyon and ran to the end of Research Park and back through the U.  This added a mile to the normal route, but nothing I haven't done 10 million times.

I ran the Cucina route on the Bonneivlle Shoreline Trail, but cut off 1.4 miles of it by running straight up to the trail on 18th Ave from my house, rather than run over to City Creek. Beautiful morning. I ran a bit with Brian Kamm on the way.

I ran a permutation of my Red Butte run, but added a couple of miles up and down Dry Creek Canyon at the end for a little bit extra. It was tough, lots of climbing for an "easy"  run.

We spent the weekend up at the cabin at Bear Lake.  I ran 10 miles on the dirt roads that traverse the mountain where the cabin is located.  Lots of up and down.  Even though it was the end of May, it was snowing/raining for much of the run. I was soaked at four miles and strongly considered turning back. The weather improved a bit and I was able to keep going.  I'm glad I got in a few miles, but the conditions were certainly not ideal.
