Out the door late, I ran a south route that took me out along Wasatch Blvd. to 2100 So. and back via a more western route. Easy miles in the cold sunshine.

15th/15th to HCI. It was cold! My chin got kind of numb on the return.

***one more thing***

As the holidays are upon us and we think about giving back to those who have given to us in the last year, I hope my fellow bloggers will take a minute and send a donation to Sasha for running this site. Think about all the things you pay for on a daily basis that are much less useful than this free site. I am sure any kind of donation would be appreciated. The guy has 5 kids and a new house; let's rally and give them a hand this season.

I know this message will reach only the few folks that read this blog, so others may want to pass along a similar thought in their own blog if they agree with the spirit of this message.

I had an early meeting, so I did a fartlek/hill workout in the avenues instead of hooking up with the group. I ran through the cemetary to 11th Ave. where I started some surges, with the longest being about .8 miles at sub 6min pace. Then I did the dreaded "up and over" through the Avenues, which taxes my heart rate severely. I cooled down back to home via Federal Heights.

Bonneville Golf Course Loop. The first hole fairway has crunchy old snow that is hard to run on, but it's still a nice destination.

I had a little flare up in my left calf yesterday that I've been paying attention to. It didn't bother me much today; I think I just need some light stretching and easy pressure on it.

From Radda on 23rd E / 3300 So., we ran a loop through Holladay. Brisk easy pace.

Wow, what a sight this morning. I ran from home through Fort Douglas and Research Park to the Zoo and up toward Emigration Canyon. There was a slight wind coming out of the canyon, and the clear sky above the mountains was free of the valley haze. I was running east toward the mountains, looking up toward the ridgeline, when I saw this incredible meteor shooting through the sky. At first, I could just see white light--like a regular shooting star--but then it turned into this fireball that screamed through the sky at incredible speed. I could see bright orange flames! When it passed over the mountains, I literally paused for a second, bracing myself for the aftershock of its certain impact. Well, I'm sure it was probably entering over Chile or some place, but it seemed really close at the time. That certainly woke up my run.

From Foothill Village to City Creek Canyon and Memory Grove, return via 4th ave. and University. Surprisingly warm out.
