No work today so I did a morning run at a sane hour. 9.25 miles in 1:10. 

About six miles into the run I was running by my kids school when I discovered that virtually all the snow is melted from the field behind the school. So I stopped and did 6 striders on the grass at about 90% effort. Running on grass. Pretty cool. 

PM: Went to the gym and did a two mile warm-up jog on the treadmill then a "stair master tempo workout". I did 300 floors (6.25 miles) in 36:50. May have set a personal sweat record.

I realized that yesterday, we can run the perimeter loop around SHP again! First time since about Thanksgiving!

Now if I can get the gully down in Sandy clear I'll be good until the trails up at Alta open up.

Green grass, no ice of the face, warm hands, shorts ... is it really happening? Can we say the "S" word yet?
