9:35 av -- I was so not feeling it this morning. I gave myself permission to run at lunch time up the canyon.  I brought my gear to work and took off from my office.  It was bleak & sunny when I left wearing a base layer tank& sweats, w/one of my long sleeved marathon shirts (w/light gloves & hat).  A mile later, I'd peeled off my long sleeve shirt and ran in just my tank top, gloves & hat.  It was the most comfortable run I've had in a long time. Got my Vitamin D for the day for sure! Too bad the run was only so-so. I ran up past my favorite water fountain where the water runs so sweet and cold at the mouth of the canyon.  I didn't have a lot of energy to push it up or down the hill, but it was life-changing to be outside with bare arms in the sun.

Nice run! That vit D is ESSENTIAL! Hey, what part of the trail is under construction??

It's south of my house about a half mile where the river crooks and lakeshore drive runs parallel to the trail. It seems like a small thing, but I do not like running in down the neighborhood--cars backing up, people looking, my dogs....but probably not that big of a deal for anyone else. There are so many other ways the city could be spending that money. They want to make an exit and road that goes from the freeway to the airport. It's a lame attempt at more commerce coming to Provo (corprate jets and what not).

Are you serious? Tank top? WAY to get some Vitamin D and run in the canyon. 9:35 AP is great for hilly trail!!! So the trail in Provo canyon is clear of snow? How far up?

Smoothie! It was awesome. I ran from about Will's Pit stop to about 1 mile past the favorite drinking fountain. The trail was 100% clear of ice and snow except for under the bridge near the power station. It was the best feeling ever to get my arms in the sun, I wasn't cold at all (but I did have the gloves and ear muff's on). I didn't do it for show, I was HOT with that other shirt on. Felt so good--temps said 39, but it felt like 45. I'm sure the trail is clear all the way up. There is always an avalance about .4 from vivian that blocks the road. I'll check it out for you next time I go to Sundance and let you know.

Thanks! I can't wait to run there again. I think Spring fever is hitting us!

I'll bet you looked HOT in your tank top! ;)

This weather is what is referred to as "false spring" it always happens in FEbruary and gets everyone all stir crazy for real spring. It's true. I'm ready for some longer runs up the canyon any time in in about 2 more weekends. Or JRP. Plan on it and let me know which or where. Thanks for thinking I might have looked hot flailing my flabby white splotchy arm flesh in the bleak February sunlight. That's really nice.
