| Great run up at the Round Vally trails in Park City, UT. 12.25 rolling miles at 7:40 pace. Also got in a pretty good strength/plyo workout at the outdoor gym which is something I love and wish we had here in Salt Lake.
As is my wont, my mind wandered to the greatest Minnesotans of all time while out on the trails. My top 6...
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Paul Westerberg, Bob Dylan, Charles M. Schulz, Prince, Hubert Humphrey.
I'm sure this list will provoke a lot of anger and generate wild controversy. If you don't like it, feel free to make your own list of great Minnesotans.

| 1 mile around the neighborhood to wake up. Heading off to the Turkey Trot now...
Fun race. I ran 18:50 and won my age group. Snowy/slushy on the roads. The first half of the race was a steady uphill and the last was more downhill. Splits were 6:22, 6:19, 5:50. Balke Bennion won the overall which was AWESOME. Abby won her age group and also a $50.00 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods. I took enough bananas to make back my entry fee.
Early PM: 4 easy miles around Sugar House Park.
All this almost made up for Trump's crappy Secretary of Education pick (wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a little politics thrown in right?)

| 9.25 around Alta Hig Scoo (what our broken sign out front says). Comfy pace. I thought about becomming a writer which is something I do when I'm running. I tell myself that the entire world must be interested in my profound thoughts. But when the run is finished they don't seem that profound anymore.

| Easy run around the school environs. Legs are sore from squats yesterday.
I was disappointed to see the raggedy ripped up American flag we are flying out in front of the school. I guess school district budgets are tight.
