This morning I ran a slushy and icy 8.6 miles. Yesterday I read an article in Running Times advising runners to "mix up" their training routines and routes, etc.  I can't tell you how many times I have gone to bed thinking that when I wake up to go run I am going to go run [insert X new destination] and then promptly dismissed that plan as inconvenient when I actually woke up.  With that, I must admit that I ran the U/Federal Heights/Memory Grove loop.  My concession to "mixing it up"was running up through Ensign Elem to 13th Ave rather than running entirely on 11th Ave.

Workout with the Black Sheep. We ran a hill workout in the St. Mary's neighborhood that basically ran us up every hill between 1300 So. and 1700 So., probably a total of 12-15 hills overall, varying in length from 40 seconds to about 90 seconds.  I ran a little cooldown on my own after, along Wasatch Blvd.

Well, I finally did get off the beaten path today and ran an unconventional loop through the U, up 900 South to 1300 E, up through Bonneville Golf Course, then back through This is the Place and followed the standard route home from there.  I didn't plan to run as long as I did, but it's a good side effect of switching things up a little. Best moment of the run was running across this field of fresh snow at This is the Place, taking in the grand city view, listening to a song from Bon Iver.

No running today. Instead I got a massage at 6am from Mark.  Worked great.

I ran the Cucina loop on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail with Sam. It was an icy climb up to the meadow, but nice hardpack snow most of the way after that.  We were up above the valley gunk which was refreshing.
