5 miles combination of the canal road and neighborhood roads. It was dark by the time I got home from work and dressed for winter running. Lots of 'critter tracks' on the canal road. I got tired of high stepping through the snow on the canal road. I thought the surface streets would be better. They weren't. I got to gingerly run on the slippery ice, so back up to the canal road. I wore my new 'ninja' hood, it worked well, it is thin enough to breathe through and not be annoying.

5 miles on the canal road. Started running at dusk, saw 22 deer enroute, 21 alive and one in the dry canal that had fallen prey to a mountain lion. I saw big cat tracks on my run yesterday, but today when heading south on the way back after my turn-around point I saw mountain lion tracks on top of my northbound shoe prints. It was a bit unnerving. I was on heightened awareness the rest of the way home. It was a great workout running in the snow.

Ran the canal road. The snow is getting slushy and messy.

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.
