21+ miles, City Creek, BST out past Red Butte, and back.  Trail conditions ranged from ankle and foot "strengthening" frozen chunky rock-like snow, to wet muck, to ice, to corn... some hard miles.  Total time about 4.5 hours.  I'm tired but happy to have some miles in after vacation.

Ran into Jun and Twinkie on the trial :)

21 and you didn't go all the way to the zoo parking lot? Interesting. How long is it if you go all the way there and back? I plan to make that run a weekly thing. It is awesome. Good running into you this morning.

For 21 we took a loop up and around Red Butte. The loop is steeper and slower but a pretty trail. Plus I added a little bit getting to the Capitol. I don't remember the mileage if you run out and back to the zoo.

Good to see you this morning. That trail was quite choppy and very challenging today.

21 on that trail is very impressive. I passed you guys just after you passed the Twins, but I had no idea who you were. Nice job!

Nice to meet you Scott.

Sounds like a pretty place to run.

Wow you are right back at it! Are you doing the slam this year?

From fly on the Wall on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 17:23:38 from 168.179.215.137

No Slam for me this year. I didn't want to commit to it before the lottery entry date. Lottery entry for the Slam????? Where are all these nutso runners coming from that the Slam has a lottery entry?

I am signed up for the Buffalo Run 50k at the end of the month. Last week was my first week of training and my 3 week taper started today.... I am going for a PR, but since it will be my first 50k, all I want to do is finish before the cut off. The cut off time is 10.5 hours (there is also a 50 miler). So really my only goal is to finish upright.

From jun on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 17:25:47 from 66.239.250.209

I wouldn't be worried about finishing before the cut-off. I'm willing to bet you come in under 7 hours. I don't know much about the race, but I don't think its too hard of a course and you are solid on trails. Ride a buffalo for me.

Yee haw.

Giddy up.
