Trails!

-5 F at the house.  0 on the bench at the beginning and end of the run.  Went up Providence canyon to escape the inversion.  It was toasty warm at the quarry.  The trail was in the best winter running condition I have ever had.  Nicely packed snow.  It was awesome.

20 degrees today!

Deer Fence easy pace.  This trail was not nearly as smooth as the canyon trail, but fun still.  Enjoyed the warmer temps.

Providence Hills Loop - 

PM 2.5 at 68.  Probably took a month off my life by running today.

Went up to Providence Canyon to escape the bad air.  Did the usual canyon trail to the quarry.  It was too warm.  The trail was all sloppy and difficult to run on.  Amazing what 30 degree difference will make.  Big snow storm blowing in today.

Too messy outside to bother to go outside-

40 mins on bike

Green Canyon with Joe - 

We ran to the Yurt on the road.  The only problem was the road was covered in snow.  Lots of it.  We weren't able to run very fast.  Lots of sliding with not a lot of forward movement.  8.5 miles later we were back at the car.  Too soon to call it a day, we ran the roads (gasp).  Even the roads were snow packed and slick.  Rough day for traction, but still a solid run.  Longest I have run since the Bear.  After breakfast, I took the kids to the big park on Cliffside to go sledding.  It was awesome.
