Bo Sho from Morris Meadows to saddle above Dry Creek. Trail was snow packed and mostly in good shape.

Bo Sho from Morris Meadows trail head. Above most all of the mucky air.

I'm so sick and tired of this winter. I want a new one.

Morris Meadows trail head. Still above the bad air.

Three strikes and I'm out.

1. It's been raining most of the day but temps have been 20 to 28 in the valley. Not much worse than running in freezing rain.

2. The ground is covered with a rind of ice. Not much worse than running on an ice rink.

3. Despite the rain the air is still very polluted! Not much worse than running in dirty, stinking, polluted air.

1 + 2 + 3 = What could be worse than running today? Hmmm.... I'm just waiting for a plague of locusts to arrive. :(

Too warm in the mountains for good skiing and too cold in valleys for anything else. I wan't a new winter.

The good- Morris Meadows trail head was completely above the bad air and temps were above freezing.

The bad-  the warmer temps on the benches have turned the hard packed snow into sloppy mush.  It took me 3:30 hours to run 12 miles!!!! I think those may have been some of the hardest 12 miles I've ever run.  It was like trying to run on a Slurpee.

I carpooled with Jeremy to Jeremy Ranch road.  The valley was sopped in with dense freezing fog.  Up on the mountain it was partly cloudy and above freezing.  The road surface was hard packed snow and nice to run on.  A very beautiful route.
