Started the day with 1-1/2 hours of  'cross-training' with the snow blower and snow shovel. 7-1/4 miles running in the snow. Home to Sardine Canyon to Perry Canyon and back home. Beautiful day, can't figure out why more people were not out running.

9.75 miles running up Perry Canyon. Ran the Grizzly Peak Trail to the cut-off then back to Three-Mile Creek, up the north face switchbacks, back down and up towards the mines. Gorgeous day for a run.

Does laying on my back on really cold concrete for four hours working on (fighting with) my truck count as cross-training? My back, arms and hands are sure stiff this morning.

Went for a long run, but was interupted to go to Rexburg, Idaho. My daughter was in labor and delivered my first grandson!
