"Running in a Winter Wonder Land (sing with me)... in this weather you could be considered inSane, but pretend that you don't give a darn.  We'll be having lots of fun with Mrs. SnowRunner Woman.  You can too,  if you're in Town.  Later on we will perspire as we take a warm shower"....I could go on, I hope anyone reading this caught on to singing it to Winter Wonderland.  Okay got out for a long run in this stuff.  It was fun.  Tried to own the roads to keep safe moving from one side to the other on the busy streets to give me a wide shoulder.  Lot of "your Insane" stares but like the song above I didn't give a darn.  Ran 10.35 miles (probably longer with all the swerving from side to side)  in 1:28:35 with  terrain deep to the shins at one point for three minutes around the hidden Highland pond off of West Park Rd from Alpine highway or Lone Peak High School if you are on that side.  Amazing when I got through the unplowed part of the parkway the entire park was plowed to the pond and around... I was thankful but come on?  The traffic there is miniscule yet our public streets to our homes remain Unplowed.  Could someone enlighten me here? 

10.35mi.  (1:28:35)  Avg pace 8:33.

I hope no plow drivers or city planners are on this blog, but they are MORONS!!!

Great run... great adventure. I love being considered insane by the general population! We actually ROCK!! We are AWESOME and they all wish they were us! Have you seen Wallie (sp?) Those people are our future and we are fighting to keep it from coming true.

I love your song! I sang along with you. good times :) It's 40 degrees right now and I am headed out for my run. Happy day to you!!

Today turned out to be entirely wonderful weather. Love your analogy. Many times at work or church I get comments from people (from surrounding towns) like "I saw you running here or there in such and such situation". I tell them to join me and of course I get a "no way I don't run outside". Okay then....I say to myself...you don't know what you are missing.... and they truly don't want to know. You most likely had an awesome run!! About to read your blog.

i was at my mom's yesterday in highland and it really is ridiculous. her road probably hasn't been plowed once since the first snowfall. i drive a jeep and i got stuck half-way down the street. i had to hit it into 4-wheel drive just to back out. ridiculous. you should get a prize for running down there.
