Sadly I DID NOT MAKE THE LOTTERY FOR THE SQUAW PEAK 50 MILER!!!!!  They will post the 60 person deep wait list later.  Question is do I want to bank on being let in?  Last year everyone on the wait list were offered spots to run it but not until May.  Blah, Blah!!  Post office error?  My luck is running out.  I made the SGM lottery  the last three years and given a spot one year.  We shall see if I even make the wait list because everyone with a post mark Dec. 1st should make it on there.  I mailed mine in the wee hours of Dec. 1st as I worked the night before. What to do?  Perhaps I should just train for a fast marathon?  The new and improved Utah Valley Marathon, offering money to the master's division.  I don't like this predicament. 

1030am run:  11.31 miles  up and around over to the canal trail a varied route with a lot of hills.  The canal was nice with some 4 wheel tracks on it to make it smooth.  Felt colder today.  The sun behind a thin layer of clouds not helping.   Hands sweaty but too cold to take off gloves. Wimpy me. Thermometer at the end of my run at Manila Elementary read 18 degrees as I ran passed it.  Pace 8:08.

You could try out the Buffalo Run in late March, directed by the blog's own ultrajim. Looks like a fun race to me...

I don't think I want to wait until May to find out. Yes, I will run Ogden. Should sign up today.

I ran Antelope three times. Last year the 50 K. I am running that again this year already.
