I ran through some neighborhoods that I don't normally run through.  It was refreshing to go to different areas.  A couple of dogs charged me, but backed down when I kept coming at them.  It was a good morning.

I missed my target pace of 6:50 and my instantaneous pace varied a fair amount. This was a tough workout. I'm not sure why. Possibly because I haven't been getting enough hours of sleep this week.

My brother and I went up Little Cottonwood and ran to Hidden Peak from the Mid Gad lift. He's signed up for the Speedgoat 50k and wanted to try part of the course before the race in July. We got up in an hour and a half and were frozen from the wind and no sun. Luckily, the ski patrol hut was open and the heater was on. We warmed up for 15 min and then cruised down the same way we came up. This was a lot longer run than I planned but it was fun and had some great views.
