     There was no snow on the pavement today so I ran my 4 mile paved route twice to make 8 miles. I started out with a 7:46 and 7:18 first 2 miles then averaged 6:46 for the next 6 miles. I took a 4 min break at the 4 mile [1/2 way] point of the run. It was about 29 deg with a bit of wind. I wanted to get it done before the big storm we are supposed to be getting tonight and tomorrow. Felt good about the run. 6:58 overall ave for 8 mi.

     There was a lot of new snow falling this morning so I was running in a lot of fresh snow. I tried to stick to the tracks left from cars and it helped a little with the footing. When I turned up the road to the reservoir where no vehicles had driven and I was running in about 8 inches of new snow. It was fun but after 1 1/2 miles of that I decided it was to much work for what was supposed to be a recovery run even though I was running as slow as 11:30 pace on some of the uphill parts. I turned around and finished the run on the roads where the footing was still poor and running was slow but much easier than the 3 miles I did on fresh snow. It would have been fun to go a lot farther in the fresh snow If it had been a day I was looking for a harder workout. 8 miles total at 9:50 ave pace.

     I was planning on a 15 miler today. We had to go down to Salt Lake and I was hoping to find the time to run down there. I never got it done down there and when we got home it was 11:30 pm and -14 deg [it got down to -20 last night]. I was tired and didn't quite have the motivation to do it then. So decided I'd do it tomorrow since this was the second day this week I wasn't able to get out.
