5 mile run south on the canal road. I should have noticed the snow all around as I got home from work. Put on shorts and a short sleeved shirt and was surprized how cold it was outside. Too lazy to go back in and change, I thought I would be warm once I got going. Wrong. My hands froze as I hit the hills to the south, then the little hail balls started hitting me. Not fun, but my new INOV8 ROClites sure felt good.

Today I ran the 25k and set a new PR for this distance by 22:51. The weather forecast looked pretty bleak, but the conditions turned out to be perfect. I had planned to run the 50k, but realized I should just focus on the 25k. I love running on Antelope Island and this race is so well organized. I saw so many racing friends and had a great time. I need to get out and do more long runs to prepare for Ogden Marathon and Logan Peak.
