It's been a few months.  Nagging injuries...and then a horrible winter.

I am in SLC this week so I decided to take advantage of the snow/ice-free conditions and get a run in for a change.

5.02 easy miles on the JRP.  It was overcast but temps were comfortable (28 degrees).  It felt good to get out again.

5.11 easy miles on the JRP.  It was 50 degrees this morning so I got to run in shorts and short sleeves for the first time since last fall...it was Great.

I will be doing a large percentage of my running this year on the JRP in the South end of Salt Lake County this year.  I would explain, but since I didn't run much this winter nobody is reading my blog anyway....lol
