Dare to be great!

Took my kids for a hike/run up from Temple Springs at the mouth of the Provo Canyon.  Saw a bunch of deer, then had blast with kids running helter skelter back down in the fresh powder.  They said it was the best part, running parkor style down the mountain.  Just ordered me a couple pairs of altra lone peak 1.5, to gear up for the new year and new adventures exploring new trails.  Just moved to Monroe last week and the mountain is calling my name.

Arrived back home and there was a package of two new pairs of Altra Lone Peaks 1.5 on the front door. Took the pup and hit the roads, first run in my new town of Monroe.  I really think I will enjoy running here, mostly flat, no traffic, and very scenic.  I can also hit the hills or the canyon just minutes from my house if I want to get to the high country.  Now I just have to find some new running partners which I miss terribly. 

Well, I had to start again sometime so why not today.  Just went a little over three miles pretty relaxed, ended up on a snow packed country lane until it ended then came back home.  AP 8:36, felt like 7:40's so I have a ways to go. 

Four miles with my dog, went from the house down Main, continued past the mouth of the canyon on the dirt road unti I hit two miles than came back.  Really enjoyable on the dirt road, no cars, no inversion, just let the dog off her leash and ran.  I was tempted to go further but I will ease into this running thing...
