My wife, Dawn, and I ran in Brigham City's Snowman Shuffle 5k. My mom decided to do the race too, her first 5k at the age of 85 years old. The course is hilly, but the roads were clear. 38 degrees at the starting line. I took 3rd in my AG. This was Dawn's 4th 5k, she just started running a few months ago and is progressing well. My mom walked the uphills, jogged the downhills and the last bit to the finish line. After I finished I went back to help my mom in.We all had a great time. I then ran home ( through Brigham City, up Sardine Canyon and across the snowy canal road). Good workout.

We were traveling through Moab today and decided to go for a trail run.

Fun run right up to the point when I heard a scream followed by "I'm bleeding!". I'm so proud, my wife is an official trail runner, she suffered her first face plant. (she's ok now).

In Albuquerque, NM for the BYU-UTEP game tomorrow. Though I detest treadmills, I did 8.5 miles between 0 to 6% grade. After riding in the car, I needed to run.

Ran 10.35 on the canal road south. Great morning run, 27 degrees, no wind. I was the only one running in the snow, about two inches of light powder. Just before dusk I did an easy 2.75 with my wife. It was her first venture out since her fall in Moab. She ended up with a concussion and has been a bit loopy since the fall.

Early morning run north on the canal road. Had to stay on the untracked 2 inches of powder. The rest was too icy. Very foggy morning.

Spent Tuesday night in Provo, UT. Awoke to 4" of slush. I ran 6.2 miles on the hotel treadmill. Yuck.

Ran 6.2 on the snowy canal road. Nice, but really cold. I was wearing my 'ninja' hood. It keeps my mouth and tongue from freezing, but my glasses keep getting foggy.

Davy Crockett is 34 hours into his 48 hour 'Across The Years' race in Arizona. 150 miles so far!

8.77 miles running south on the canal road. Today's run brings my total to 1325 miles for the year. I like having the week off work. I get to run more often and longer. Too bad nobody sponsors really slow runners. I could get used to this.
