am - 7.3 miles / 11:32 avg. BST going North form the Kaysville Wilderness Park. Mostly cloudy, temps in the mid 40's. Great trail run to give my feet, legs, hips, and mind a break from the Winter roads. Dynamic trail conditions with soft packed snow, some mud, some dry rocky sections, and choppy ice in the canyon bottoms. Good debut for the new shoes. These are the first heavy shoes I've run in for a couple of years. I got them just for conditions like these. My minimal MT101's are great trail shoes, but better suited to dry trails. I thought these Montrails might be good for the 50 miler in March, depending on conditions come race day. pm - 6 miles / 8:18 avg. In the dark on the Mystery Field Track with young dog under starry skies and temps in the low 40's. Unintentional progression run. Splits: 8:38, 8:25, 8:18, 8:16, 8:08, 8:06. WT - 61.7 miles
