AM: Got to the gym at 6 am ahead of our trip to St. George for the weekend. 2.5 mile warm-up on the treadmill plus weights/strength training. More later?

60 degrees here in Salt Lake today!

PM: 8.25 miles around St. George - just exploring the town. For someone who has lived in Utah for ten years, I know very little about this town. Did quite a few laps around the track at Dixie College. There has to be better places to run around here and I know I'm probably missing some great trail running. I checked out the St. George Running Center website thinking that they might have a guide to some great local runs like the Salt Lake Running Co. website does. No luck.

Have a safe and fun trip to St. George...you really don't have to go there to get the warm weather!

So true Jeff!

Five degrees warmer in Salt Lake today. Figures... Murphy's Law.

I love to run on the Bearclaw-Poppy Trail when I am in SG. (Which will actually be this Sunday early evening ... but just for one night before Ry and I head to Red Rock!) :)

Run at Snow Canyon! There is a gravel road that goes back quite a ways... its pretty awesome. There is also a trail that goes up on the bluff on the north side of the town. I've only been there once so that is all I know.
