My whole family was sick last week, including me.  Nasty winter viruses!   But, now we are all on the mend, except for Teren, who started coughing last night. 

I ran an easy six down 4800 S, and on to the River Trail.  Some guy wearing basketball shorts passed me on the slippery wooden walk way because I was taking it very slowly since it was dark and I couldn't see.  I passed him on the trail, but then I turned down a side trail, which I thought connected with the main trail.  It didn't.  I re-traced my steps, and found myself behind Basketball Shorts.  I think I freaked him out a little bit because I kept disappearing and re-appearing throughout his run.  I left the trail at Millrace Park, and ran through the Taylorsville High driving range and parking lot, through the neighborhood, and back to my house. 

I decided that I am done with winter!

 

PM:  Half an hour of running, followed by cycle class.  A fun filled hour of alternating hill and sprint drills.  Glad I had Andrea there to suffer with me.

When does winter start? I thought it was still October? :-)

Is the 5pm spin class hard to get in to at Taylorsville? If not, would you like to do it with me this afternoon?

Andrea, I called the club, and there are bikes available for tonight's class. So, I will see you there. Jake, it's dark and below 70 degrees. It's winter!

Hey Emily whats the condition of the JRP? Other than that slippery bridge section, is it icy at all?
