Holy cold this morning!!! I made the mistake of running along the canal road north into Brigham. I went into Brigham, through the golf course, to the cemetary, and back. The wind was bitter cold, and hard, coming out of a Sardine Canyon, and I about froze. The good part was the further south I went the less snow there was. It is funny how in Willard there is still a good 4 inches of snow, and in Brigham which is 5 miles north, there is hardly a skiff of snow and ice. I about got blown down the golf course when I hit it because of how hard that wind was blowing, crazy! The last couple of miles I started to thaw out and warm up because the wind had died down and was at my back, plus the sun was starting to come up in places. It wasn't the best run I have had recently, mostly because of the harsh conditions, but I got it done. Another bright side was I was only planning on 7 miles and decided to add another 3 on in the middle of my run, and I am glad I did. 1:13:54 (7:00 minute pace on the way home)

(Hardrock- 240 miles)

James, nice shorts? They won't get you into running with the fast running chicks on the blog and they won't scare off dogs.

James, your picture is hilarious! I'm not exactly sure why the shorts are pink, though. Hope you made it through the animal attack intact.

It almost looks like a mini-skirt.

That picture is for Jeff and Clyde who don't think pink is cool. Look how cool Sasha looks in hot pink! Pink is the new black.

Paul,

They look better when the picture is bigger. And don't make fun of my art skills, they never progressed after kindergarten. Plus, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Geez, Sasha's quads look bigger from the back...how is that even possible?

If you guys go with the pink skort for the uniform, you are likely to make more of an impression at races than a mamby-pamby, predictable blue. (What kind of impression remains to be seen, but whatever.)
