Deer Fence - 

Can't believe the trail is totally dry.  Its totally frozen solid, but free from snow.  What a crazy winter we are having.  I am not complaining though.  Except about Providence Canyon though.  That trail is bulletproof ice right now.  Horrible conditions.  I digress..

I enjoyed a brisk morning nearly alone on the trails.  There were a few deer to keep me company and even 2 random runners.  The guy was in a t-shirt and the girl was bundled up properly.  Not sure if he was being stupid or trying to show off to her how tough he is.  Seriously?  T-shirt, no gloves in sub 20 degree weather.  Whatever.

Temple to Canal Trail to gaping hole in hillside and back.  Broken trail section looks easily passable even if its a bit muddy.  Another day.

Snowy Long Run - 

I woke up to a few inches of snow with more on the way.  I modified my plans to head from the house since the roads were soft and inviting.  I went up to Providence Canyon and tried out the trail.  The few inches of snow did nothing in the way of traction over the ice sheet that is the trail.  After a quarter mile of slipping and sliding I bailed and hit deer fence over to Dry.  It was much better.  The only downside of the run was the journey home was on wet and slushy roads shared with cars.  Not fun.  The sidewalk was the best option as it was a cushy plush surface.

** This week was a great week for running.  My injury has all but disappeared.  No issues all week.  I even nearly hit 70 miles for the week. I plan on keeping it there for the next month (plus or minus 10).
