Great run today from my house in Sugarhouse up Emmigration Canyon to the top of Little Mountain and then down past the resevoir and finishing at I-80. Total of 15.75 miles with the first 12.5 being uphill. It's basically the Deseret News Marathon course in reverse. The weather was a challenge. I actually started out in shorts as it was sunny and nice at my house. After about a half mile I came back and changed into tights. Good decision as it was snowing quite hard as I climbed Little Mountain and dropped down into East Canyon. Fierce wind chill too. Ann met me at the end so I could wrap up in a quilt in the warm car for the ride back home down Parley's Canyon. |
