Providence Star

Medium Effort - Felt Decent for a Monday

Providence Hills Loop nice and easy.  Not that I had much a choice in the matter.  Got it done just as the snow started to fall.

Providence Millville hills loop (Clockwise)

Some faster, some not so much.  Pretty sluggish all around.

Deer Fence Providence Canyon to Dry and back.  Trail had about 2 inches of snow.  Just enough to make it slippery.  I saw elk, deer, a dead deer, a dog, a woman, more deer, and heard an owl. Almost hit a deer driving home.

Easy 7

I got pulled over by a Sheriff again today (during my run).  Luckily I didn't run shirtless and carry a child with me on my run today.  Or I would have fit the description of the suspect and been shot on sight.

Long Run

Today I ran up to First Dam via Sumac Drive and was graced by the presence of Joe when I arrived at First Dam.  It was a long anticipated reunion and was a very nice change from the lonely winter runs.  We ran up the river trail (I stopped and put on my microspikes) and stopped at about a mile past Spring Hollow.  The trail was pretty packed down low, but got pretty fluffy and soft at the top.  The spikes did great.  We turned around and I want back home the way I came and Joe hung with me for a bit to loop back to his place.  A super nice long run to get the body ready for a beating in 3 weeks.  I am happy to have slipped in a sub 7 min mile in there too.  Wow, better watch out....
