One of the elk stuck around to watch me as I got closer.Last day off work for the holidays. Wanted to start the year off right. Ran 20.68 mile. 17 degrees out when I started, but had warmed to a balmy 22 degrees by 2 o'clock when i finished. The surface ranged from hard-packed snow to 5" of powder. Gained 2800' of elevation. Ran the canal road south to Willard, back to and up Perry Canyon. Up the switchbacks to the upper bench then to Sardine Canyon, turned around to Perry Canyon and home. 

 Above Perry Canyon

Saw 14 deer, including two bucks also saw 22 elk across a ridge line above me. 

Deer!

Red air day, stayed inside on the treadmill. Ran 3.1 miles. I think I need new road shoes, the cushioning in the Mizunos is breaking down.
