El Burro Blanco

4 easy miles this morning in the light rain.  

It rained nonstop in St. George today.  I was going to go out again this afternoon but it was way to wet.  I decided to get caught up on painting for the baby room.  I needed to get it done.  Thank you crazy rain!

I woke up this morning to seeing the Red Mountain, Utah Hill, and Pine Valley covered in snow.  It was really fun to see this with all of the red rock.

Katey drove me to work today so I could run home from the high school.  It was pretty chilly this afternoon but the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.  I started at the high school, went over to the DC trail into Bloomington, then towards Tonaquint Intermediate, and then along Dixie Drive until I hit the trail that went up towards the Snow Canyon Parkway.  I then took the parkway all the way back to the house.  It was a great run and I enjoyed it thoroughly.  Averaged 7:05/mile for the run.  I couldn't ask for a better day than today.  Nothing but blue skies and beautiful surroundings.

I didn't run yesterday because I was busy painting around the house and trying to finish with the baby room.  I ended up doing the same run this afternoon where I started at the high school and then ran home.  I tacked on another half mile around Ivins.  Another cold afternoon.  Happy to get the long run in though.

It was snowing on the drive over to the Bloomington Loop.  As soon as we got started on the trail it stopped and the temps were perfect.  Clyde, Dave, Paul, and I went out on the trails towards Utah Hill.  We did the loop twice out there.  It was one of the best runs I've been on.  Their was just a little bit of snow on the ground which made great cushion for the feet.  It was fun chatting with the guys and ending the week on a high note.

I have another training mistake for missing a run that Sasha needs to put on the list.  Getting baby room finished with the in-laws in town!  I really do love my in-laws though.
