AM- I went out for an easy 7 mile run on a snowy canal road. I hoped with all the snowmobile tracks that I would have some decent conditions, I was wrong. The road was a mess, a running nightmare, with footing to break a leg. I was very careful but still got pretty beat around because of the rough hard snow and deep trenches. My achilles was hammered after the run. I either aggravated it or stretched it really good, so it could have been bad or good. I will definitely find a little pavement for the next couple of days. No watch.

(Hardrock- 296 miles)

PM- I had to go into Brigham City to do some errands so I ran while I was there. I did an out and back on the SE side of the city. I like that area because there are some good rollers, hardly any traffic, and zero loose dogs. I went about 5:00 pm when the sun was down so it got pretty cold quick. I felt like I was dragging the whole way but I was actually moving okay. I did the 6 miles at a 6:45 average, much better than the 9 minute miles of late. 40:30 for the run

(Adrenaline-492 miles)

James, come to St. George, we complain when it's in the 30's & clear. Plenty of pavement here!

Which weekend are you thinking for the cabin?

From James on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 16:24:48

Mike- I'll be there this weekend for Painter's in my shorts and singlet. Well maybe long sleeved shirt and shorts!

Jon- Superbowl weekend, unless I move that weekend. Otherwise the week before or week after.

Super Bowl weekend- we will be in SLC. But the week before or after could work.
