A dirty, stinking inversion is building along the Wasatch Front and with it my spirits were sinking.  I trail run above the inversion was just what I needed.  Ran to Ensign Peak following the fun route.  

I don't believe non-runners and even some people who consider themselves runners, can understand how completely joyful the simple act of running can be.  Add some snow and wooo hooo!  I was happy to be out just running in the slush, packed powder, and sweet, knee to thigh deep fresh powder.  Even better, I had someone willing to run with me.  I felt like a kid at Christmas.  I even skipped a bit down some of the slopes, but don't tell anyone.  Teena, I hope you had half as much fun as I did today.

Home, City Creek, BST toward dry creek.  I tried to run up and above this ugly mucky air that has settled over the valley.  Dang there were some slippery sections of trail this morning!  I kept sliding off the trail!  :)
