Every once in awhile you hit it just right. Tonight was one of those nights. Evening run from water tower, down through Thanksgiving business park, down Garden Drive (out and back) and jumped on to the golf course for 5.5 miles then back to water tower via MATC and Megaplex theatres.

Today's storm dropped 2"-3" of fresh snow. Floating on blanket of new snow on the cart paths--sometimes hard to tell the path from the course. Not a track or ripple. Clear skies, trackless perfect snow covering, glow from the city lights bouncing off of low hanging clouds, cold and crisp. A bit slick in spots. Magical.

11 miles on treadmill. 6 middle miles at 8 mph.

Lucked out tonight at the gym. Cardio theater was playing the new Star Trek film (a couple of years old now).

Slipped away from work this afternoon for a snow run. AF Canyon started at Tibble Fork reservoir ran up the road to Silver Lake Flats and another .5 miles up toward Silver Lake--wanted to get all the way to Silver Lake (up top) but ran out of time and sunlight.

Coyote sitting at Silver Lake Flat shoreline singing the blues...at the same time a bald eagle flew over-head. Pretty cool scene. About 5-6" at Silver Lake Flats, only about an 3 inches at Tibble.

No humans. No tracks (excepting animals). In fact, followed the coyote tracks for about 1.5 miles up to the lake prior to seeing him--guessed correctly "coyote"!

Fun run. Will do again.

Ran and running short on time, hit the golf course for 15 holes--had to cut it short. Shocking that all of the snow from a few days ago has melted.

Crazy thing about running that I continue to RE-learn. Felt lousy all day, coming down with a cold and completely unmotivated. Took my whiny pathetic self to at least grab 4 miles--ended up running 7. Best I've felt all day. Running really IS the cure all. When in doubt RUN!

Highlights: kicked up a flock of 20-30 geese; 2 cottontail rabbits, 2 redtail hawks, 1 blue heron, 4 deer--1 very tall 2 point buck; covey of quail (scared the s--- out of me). Beautiful warm night.

10 mile route including golf course. Slight drizzle and all the usual suspects out today (2 point buck, cottontail rabbit, blue heron, and a hawk that I haven't been able to identify yet--brown in color with white underbelly, large white band across mid-tail feathers).

Very saddened by today's shooting. A very somber run...so sad for those families affected by today's tragedy. Sucks.

JRPT south to Saratoga Springs and back to Thanksgiving Point. A bit snowy with 2-3" on trail. Started in snow ended in beautiful blue, cold night. Christmas lights really glowing with the fresh snow and cloud cover.
