HCI loop from 15th/15th. We had a special guest appearance from Johanna Nielsen this morning. She is in town from France for a few days, and is as fit as ever. She's planning to run the Paris Marathon in April. Really great to catch up with her.

Black Sheep workout in the cold. We met up at the entrance to Red Butte and ran a mile warm-up. John Straley was leading the group today and he loves to bring some prop for people to use. John has managed to incorporate the use of used pennies, potatoes, colored chalk, and many other props into the workouts. Today it was neoon glo-sticks about the size of a straw. The workout involved each runner using the glo stick as their own start/stop marker for a series of timed intervals, 80-90 seconds. Then we ran a few longer intervals through research park, with the longest being about a mile. Then a long cooldown. It was certainly chilly, but we warmed up pretty quick.

Zoo/Bonneville Golf Course loop. I ran into Brian Kamm above the golf course and he ran with me for about five miles and we got to catch up. Pace was easy.

A group of 8 or so ran from Radda (2300E/3300S) and did the expanded Casto loop. The pace was generally faster as Johanna joined us again. Casey and I did about a .75 surge at Mile 6.5 and that felt hard, but necessary.

Took a little more work than usual to stir myself out of bed. In fact, my wife was out the door before me for her run with our neighbor, which is pretty unusual. It was snowing and the streets were white and once I was out the door I felt fine. Footing on the snow wasn't great though, and when I would occassionally run across some dry patch it felt like running on grip tape. I've been listening to episodes of "This American Life" on my iPod on the last few solo runs and that has been very entertaining. The show I listened to today had a very entertaining story written by Jhumpa Lahiri. There was also a sappy David Sedaris piece that was not nearly as funny as his other stuff.

On my way over to Bonneville Golf course, I ran a couple of snowy fairways on the U of U golf course. Then the snowy fairways at Bonneville. This is usually safe only when the snow is fresh, as frozen chunky snow is a little treacherous. Anyhow, I enjoyed the contrast between white expanse of the fairways and the cold, dark morning sky.

A group of six of us took off from Foothill Village at 6:30. We ran a north route through the University and into the Avenues, up to 11th Ave, and down to B street and then back. We had a couple of surges, on 11th Ave. on the way back, and then again in Federal Heights.
